subject: The Latest Solution That Dentists Have To Offer Is The Porcelain Inlays And Onlays [print this page] Many people put of going to the dentist when they have a toothache because they know that the dentist is going to either have to perform an extraction or use drills and other tools to cure the problem which can be very painful, even worse than the toothache. People do not want to ruin their smile because of one or two bad teeth. However, you no longer have to avoid a tooth extraction.
The latest solution that dentists have to offer is the porcelain inlays and onlays. These are a new method for filling cavities in your teeth and the offer very minimal amounts of pain compared to drills. The inlays and onlays are similar to a dental filling. In the usual method, a decayed tooth is cleaned and then the cavity is filled, then porcelain inlays or onlays is placed onto the tooth to not just improve the aesthetics of the tooth but to also improve the general functionality of it.
The inlays and onlays preserve the actual tooth as much as possible. Also, with porcelain being white naturally, it blends with the colour of the teeth. Porcelain is a gel-like material. So it takes the exact shape of the tooth and blends the cavity with the rest of the tooth. So they do not look out of place.
The onlays and inlays are easy to maintain and clean. They are also durable as they last long and remain strong. If you feel that you could benefit from inlays and onlays than do not hesitate in contacting your dentist.
