If you catch a cavity early enough, usually a dental filling will take care of the job. However, the more you wait, the more likely we’ll suggest inlays and onlays for your decayed teeth. At Barker Dentistry & Implant Center, we’re always looking for the best possible solutions to properly maintain excellent oral health.
These restorations are usually made of either porcelain or composite resin, so they can easily match the shade of your natural teeth. While fillings come with many benefits, they can’t compare to the stability added by using inlays and onlays. They can increase the tooth structure’s integrity by around 50 percent.
After we take a digital dental impression of your teeth, we’ll use it to fabricate a custom restoration. Dr. Barker will use an adhesive to secure it into place.
If a cavity grows to be too large, you will most likely require inlays and onlays. Inlays cover the area between tooth cusps. We use onlays for even larger tasks, as they can cover the area over multiple cusps.
At Barker Dentistry & Implant Center, our goal is to provide the best services and the best restorations possible. If you feel like you might have a cavity, it’s important to see a dentist to prevent it from worsening. Contact our friendly team today to schedule an appointment.
