Due to recent advances in dental ceramics and adhesives, patients who have large fillings that need replacement don't always have to get full dental crowns or dental implants.

More conservative alternatives are inlays and on-lays, which are used to treat cavities and decay of the rear teeth. They are bonded directly onto your tooth using a specially formulated resin, which can increase the strength of your tooth considerably.

Family dentists believe more and more patients are choosing to replace mercury fillings with inlays and on-lays because they do not require your tooth to be ground into pegs like crowns do.

Dental Inlays

Dental inlays are used to repair teeth that have decay or damage within the top rim or cusp of the tooth. They are also commonly used to replace damaged or worn metal fillings. Placement of the inlay is often complete in two appointments.

During the first visit, dentists will make an impression of your tooth and a temporary inlay will be placed over the tooth. The impression of your tooth will then be sent off to a dental lab, where an inlay will be molded out of porcelain or a composite resin to match your tooth's specifications.

On the second visit, the temporary inlay will be removed and the permanent one will be placed on your tooth. There is no recovery time necessary, so you can go back to normal activities after your appointment.

Dental On-lays

Dental on-lay is a more substantial repair for cavities and decay, similar to an inlay, but it extends beyond one or more of the cusps of your tooth. The procedure for an on-lay is similar to an inlay, where it requires two appointments.

First, an impression is made of your decayed tooth and a temporary on-lay is placed over the tooth. The impression is then sent to a lab, where a technician creates an on-lay according to your tooth's exact dimensions.

On your second visit, the temporary on-lay in removed, the tooth is prepped and the lab-created on-lay is bonded to your tooth using a high-strength dental resin. Again, there is no down time to be expected after this procedure.

Like dental inlays, on-lay can be created from tooth-colored materials, which make them visibly undetectable to the naked eye. on-lay also help preserve more tooth structure because their use requires minimal removal of your tooth's surface. The largest benefit you will experience from getting an on-lay is that you will not have to have your teeth ground into a peg.

Benefits of On-lay and Inlays

Virtually undetectable
Does not contract or expand to temperature changes caused by hot and cold foods
Dentist can conserve more of the tooth's natural structure
Strengthens teeth by up to 75 percent
Long-lasting
Easy tooth cleaning because the fit is tailored at all edges and the preparation is minimal
Better at sealing out bacteria and will not stain
Reduces the need for more extensive treatments later
Some dentists can create on-lays and inlays in-house, which can eliminates the need for two appointments

Dentists believe not every situation is right for an inlay or an on-lay. Your problems and concerns will be assessed on an individual basis so the best solution is provided to you.
