Dental Restoration Guide

After the direct restorations, we move on the indirect ones starting with dental inlays or onlays. These are used to repair teeth with mild or moderate amount of cavity or decay, or restore cracked or fractured tooth.

Usually these things are made of porcelain, composite resin, or gold. For those who want to look normal they go for the first two, those who want to stand out take the last one. As mentioned, last time, indirect restorations happen in a lab of sorts. Therefore, there will be a lot of trips to the dentist to make sure that the in or outlay is correctly done.

We will discuss the advantages of inlays and onlays on the next post.
