Inlays and Onlays In Naperville
A dental inlay and onlay is a restoration used when the cavity or broken/cracked tooth needs more than a filling but doesn’t require a crown. An inlay is used when the restoration that is needed only includes the center of the tooth. An onlay is used when the restoration that is needed includes the center and a cusp of the tooth. Both restorations are permanent and can be made to match the surrounding teeth.
Efficient and Convenient Procedure at Living.
This procedure for an onlay or an inlay is completed in one visit (no temporary needed) and typically takes 2 hours, which includes 30-45 min of downtime.
Dr. Keven Wells prepares the tooth to ensure proper fit, the CEREC Omniscan scanned, captures the area to be treated (no messy impressions needed).
The inlay or onlay is then created as a 3D model on the computer.
The inlay or onlay is milled from a ceramic block directly at Living Well Dental Group.
Dr. Keven Wells seats the final restoration in your mouth just a little while longer.
