Same Day Inlay & Overlay Restorations

Same Day Inlay & Overlay Restorations by Orlando Dentist Dr. Alfredo M. Gapuz, Jr. DMD

Dental Inlays and Onlays are porcelain or composite resin materials used to restore rear teeth that have only a moderate amount of decay. These natural-looking tooth restorations will restore the health of your teeth while retaining their natural beauty!

Creating Perfect Inlays and Onlays

Dental inlays are used to treat teeth that have decay within their indented top surfaces, whereas dental onlays are used to treat decay that extends to one or more of the cusps.

With the use of our high-tech CEREC CAD/CAM system, Dr. Gapuz is able to fabricate and then place these restorations in one visit. Digital imaging technology is used to map the surface contours of your tooth and these images are transferred digitally to our in-office milling machine. In a matter of minutes, this machine can fabricate a beautiful porcelain restoration designed to perfectly fit the unique contours of your tooth.

This porcelain restoration is then bonded to the surface of the tooth and sealed. This procedure can strengthen the overall structure of your tooth, and because the restoration is bonded and sealed it prevents bacteria from being able to enter and form new cavities.

Benefits of Porcelain Restorations

• Because dental inlays and onlays are made from durable tooth-colored porcelain, they offer longer-lasting results than metal fillings, while retaining the natural beauty of your smile. Your restorations will be virtually invisible.
• Unlike metal fillings, porcelain restorations do not expand and contract with heat and cold and will not damage tooth structure.
• Porcelain Inlays/Onlays also help to conserve more precious tooth structure because their use requires minimal removal of the natural tooth surface.
• Perhaps their most important benefit is that in saving damaged teeth, Inlay/Onlays help our patients avoid the need for more extensive costly treatment.
