Dental restorations also known as composite inlays and onlays in scientific terms are used to treat decayed or damaged teeth. They are created using a special composite resin material that closely resembles the color of teeth, enabling the material to seamlessly blend in with the rest of the neighboring teeth.
Composite inlays and onlays are created outside the mouth and then bonded to the damaged tooth. Inlays, which fit inside the cusps of the chewing surface, are used when only a small portion of the tooth is damaged whereas onlays cover a wider area that extends past one or more cusps. Two procedures are required to obtain composite inlays or onlays. In order to create a custom-made restoration that precisely fits the tooth, any decayed areas must first be removed from the tooth and an impression or digital scan must be taken. Next, using specialized adhesive materials, carefully attach your custom-made restoration to your tooth.
