Cleaning tooth decay leaves damages on the teeth which need to be filled. After tooth decay is removed, there is an area left which needs to be filled. This area which remains in the tooth after tooth decay removal, is also known as cavity. If the cavity left is too large, regular filling is not permanent solution. Your dentist will tell you that you will have to replace that filling in a couple of years, because, if the cavity is very large the fillings fall off very often. In order to prevent falling off the fillings, we use the inlay which serves the same purpose as filling but which is more effecient.
Composite and ceramic inlay
Inlay is made from composite or ceramic material. It is made with the special mould of the patient’s tooth. Inlay is fixed to the tooth with dental cement. It cannot happen that inlay does not suit to the patient because it is always done based on preliminary taken dental impression. Colour of inlay will be defined by your dentist, according to the colour of your other teeth. After the inlay is placed, additional corrections which will ensure better inlay adhesion may be done by drilling. After consulting the dentist, the patient makes the choice whether composite or ceramic inlay will be used. Ceramic inlay is durable and completely invisible on tooth. It can stand pressure and other harmful effects well.
In our dental clinic you can choose inlay instead of tooth filling after removal of tooth decay. Besides decay cleaning and tooth filling or inlays, our dental clinic offers variety of other interventions amongst which are preventive dental examinations.
