Important things to know about Inlays and Onlays

No one, without any consideration to age and sex,loves to lose their beautiful smile which is inevitable for each of them to be smart and attractive. How horrible it is to have an awkward smile! Some people say there is nothing as horrible as this and that is what you might also feel. Now Inlays and Onlays remain two prominent ones among all the treatments for dental deforms and problems.

Types of Inlays and Onlays
There are two types. The first one is natural coloured Inlays and Onlays which mostly replace those traditional amalgam filling types. The second one is composite Inlays and Onlays.

What Are Inlays And Onlays?
Inlays and Onlays are tough ceramic materials placed inside or over the surface of one’seither decayed or damaged tooth. This remains a major alternative option to a crown. The ceramic material, having the natural colour of one’s tooth,returns that attractive and charming smile; once the person possessed.

What are they made of?
They can be made of from different materials including gold or ceramic material.
Advantages:

  1. Fit in Well: One of the major advantages with Inlays and Onlaysis that they fit in well with the remaining set of one’s teeth.
  2. Realistic Look: As the material used in this procedure is of ‘tooth-colour’; it offers a realistic and a very natural look and appearance.
  3. Replacement for their amalgam fillings: It is considered as one of the best alternative for amalgam fillings. A major drawback of amalgam fillings is that they never look natural. This is one of the main reasons why people prefer Inlays and Onlays to it.
  4. Part of Smile Makeover: Inlays and Onlays can be considered as part of one’s smile makeover. There is no doubt that one’s smile improves with this treatment.
  5. Boosting Confidence: Indirectly it boosts confidence by beautifying one’s smile.
    Least Amount of Risk: There is no risk or little risk involved in the process of Inlays and Onlays. Further the natural colour of tooth also does not fade away quickly.
  6. Easy to Clean: It is quite easy to clean just like the other teeth. All what you need to do is brush it twice a day.

Disadvantages:
Inlays and Onlays are not free of disadvantages anyway. One of the most striking disadvantage of this treatment is that the material is hard and it could be broken if over pressure is given. For example it can break if you bite on a harder food.
