Porcelain Inlays
Risk factors for tooth damage
Tooth decay and damage can result from several factors, including:
- Poor oral hygiene habits
- Consumption of sugary or acidic foods
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Large, failing fillings
- Dental trauma
If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity, discomfort, or visible damage, our expert dentists at Kelly Family Dentistry can determine if porcelain inlays are the right solution.
Symptoms that indicate the need for porcelain inlays
Porcelain inlays may be the perfect solution if you are dealing with any of the following:
- Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot and cold
- Pain when chewing or biting down
- Cracks or fractures in teeth
- Large cavities that cannot be filled with traditional fillings
- Old fillings that are failing or breaking down
The porcelain inlay procedure at Kelly Family Dentistry
Our porcelain inlay procedures are carefully designed to restore both function and aesthetics to your teeth. The process typically involves two visits:
- Initial Visit:
- Dr. Kelly will evaluate your tooth and take impressions to ensure a precise fit.
- Any decay or old filling material is removed, and a temporary filling is placed while your custom porcelain dental inlay is crafted.
- Second Visit:
- The temporary filling is removed, and your porcelain inlay is permanently bonded to your tooth.
- Final adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable and natural bite.
