Inlay Instead of traditional fillings there is a possibility to make previously prepared inlays. The inlay is a filling which is prepared previously by a technician on the basis of an impression made of the formed cavity. It is put into the cavity in a solid state and fixed there. The inlay can fill an extensive missing tooth part. It has numerous advantages as opposed to fillings both aesthetically and functionally. Its life span is much longer than that of fillings. The inlay/onlay is a type of filling, which is prepared in a technician’s laboratory on the basis of an impression. Inlays offer an excellent solution in the treatment of molar teeth to restore the missing tooth part and make the teeth look more beautiful. With their application it is possible to faithfully mimic the original colour shade and individual colouring of any tooth so that you will have a harmonic and pleasant smile. As for its base material, it can be made of gold, porcelain and rigid plastic.
Gold inlay Many people think that it is the best tooth filling. Gold can be applied in a very thin, filmy layer, thereby creating an optimal closure. Gold itself is very tissue-friendly, a material tolerated by our bodies. Gold is not only a timelessly elegant material but also a material that can be worked on accurately by the technician. If for you the life span of the filling is the most important, choose a gold inlay.
Ceramic inlay From an aesthetic point of view, ceramic inlay is doubtlessly the most beautiful alternative for the restoration of side tooth areas instead of amalgam. Since aesthetic considerations are of prime importance for you, ceramic inlay is the right solution. It is the porcelain material which is suitable from the point of view of colour and transparency. The porcelain inlay is definitely the most beautiful alternative for amalgam fillings.
Belle-Glass inlay The placement of a rigid plastic filling prepared by the technician is a favourable alternative to amalgam fillings. Unlike normal plastic materials which are incorporated directly in the patient’s mouth, the material of the inlays prepared by the laboratory is more balanced, due to its shrinking dependant on hardening. Plastic inlays fit perfectly to the natural tooth colour and guarantee good, aesthetic results. |
