Glass Composite Filling, Inlays and Onlays – strong natural-looking way to restore broken teeth just in one visit by high-quality multilayer last-generation materials.

When it comes to dental restorations that offer durability and an aesthetic appeal, Glass Composite Filling, Inlays, and Onlays stand out as premium choices. Most of the time, inlays and onlays replace previous large fillings as well as newly decayed or fractured tooth structure, without the unnecessary removal of healthy tooth structure. This makes them a great conservative option that primarily preserves as much healthy tooth as possible.

The strongest material that is also esthetic is porcelain, which is used to fabricate these restorations. Porcelain inlays, onlays, and tooth-colored restorations create fillings that are not only beautiful (or unnoticeable) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are aesthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.

What Are Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays and onlays can be made of porcelain, gold, or composite resin. These pieces are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. An inlay (which is similar to a filling) is used inside the cusp tips of the tooth. An onlay is a more substantial reconstruction, similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth.

Traditionally, gold has been the material of choice for inlays and onlays. In recent years, however, porcelain has become increasingly popular due to its strength and color that can potentially match the natural color of your teeth.

How Are They Applied at Gorbatov Dentistry?

Inlays and onlays require two appointments to complete the procedure at our upscale dental office, located on Ocean Drive, oceanfront in Hollywood. During the first visit, the filling being replaced or the damaged or decaying area of the tooth is removed, and the tooth is prepared for the inlay or onlay.

At the second appointment, the temporary filling is removed. The inlay or onlay will be bonded to the tooth with a strong resin and polished to a smooth finish by Dr. Dmitry Gorbatov, a seasoned expert in dental restorations.
