A decayed or damaged tooth can be repaired using appropriate dental restorations. Teeth restorations aid biting and chewing functions by providing physical support to the weak/damaged tooth. Starting from dental fillings, there are a number of types of restorations used in our dental office based on the extent of the damage. Dental inlays and dental onlays are used when the decay has destroyed some part of the biting surface of the tooth. Our dentist chooses an inlay or an onlay when found that the damage caused to the tooth is not large enough to require a dental crown for restoration. Make an appointment and visit our dental office in Apex, NC to know more about our dental inlays and onlays. Our comprehensive dental treatment has helped improve oral health of patients from Apex, Cary and surrounding communities.
Benefits of dental inlays and onlaysWhen your tooth is damaged by infection or from an injury an inlay or onlay can help reshape it. Inlays and onlays have a number of benefits that have made them popular in restorative care.
The procedure of restoring a damaged tooth using inlay or onlay is a lot similar to that of dental crowns. The preparation of tooth involves removal of a very small portion of the natural tooth. The dentist takes impressions of the tooth to send it to the lab. Temporaries are prepared in our office and are cemented over the prepared tooth until the next visit. Inlays/onlays are fabricated in the lab and sent to our office.
During the next visit, our dentist removes temporaries and cleans the area. The fit and finish of permanent inlays/onlays are checked before they are cemented over tooth.

More ReviewsAfter my 5+ years of stay in NC, I found Apex Similes definitely as one of the best Dentist Office within Apex, Cary, RTP area, they are very professional. Dr. Chirnalli is very accurate in his diagnosis and probably the best around. My 8-year-old daughter who always complained visiting dentist, loves visiting Apex Smiles and the friendly people there, definitely not an effort to us to take her to her regular visits :)."
