303-494-7110At Boulder Restorative Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive dental solutions tailored to your unique needs. One of the advanced treatments we offer is dental inlays. This service is designed to restore the integrity and function of your teeth, ensuring your smile remains healthy and beautiful.
What Are Dental Inlays?
Dental inlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth that have suffered damage or decay but are not sufficiently compromised to require a full crown. These restorations are typically made from porcelain, composite resin or gold, and they fit snugly within the grooves of your tooth, effectively sealing it from further damage.
Why Choose Dental Inlays?
Inlays provide several benefits over traditional fillings, including:
- Durability: Inlays are crafted from strong, durable materials that can withstand the pressures of chewing and biting, making them a long-lasting solution.
- Aesthetics: Porcelain and composite resin inlays are tooth-colored, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth and enhancing your smile.
- Precision Fit: Custom-made to match the exact dimensions of your tooth, inlays provide a precise fit that enhances the strength and stability of the restored tooth.
Our Inlay Procedure
The process of receiving a dental inlay is straightforward and involves a few key steps. First, Dr. Anna Pitz or Dr. Gordon Gates will remove the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth. Next, they will take an impression of the affected area, which is then sent to a dental lab where your custom inlay is crafted. During a follow-up visit, the inlay will be carefully placed and bonded to your tooth, restoring its functionality and appearance.
Our commitment to using the latest dental technologies ensures that your inlay is of the highest quality. We pride ourselves on delivering treatments that are not only effective but also comfortable and minimally invasive.
