Inlay-Onlay and Overlay Fillings

Inlay onlay overlay fillings

This porcelain filling, which has the same hardness as the teeth, prevents fractures caused by the bite force and ensures that the tooth is as healthy as before.

Is it aesthetic?

The molars, which do most of the chewing function, are exposed to greater pressure and require more resistant material than the front teeth. In the past, silver amalgam was the most common filling material and was used on the back teeth. These types of fillings are actually alloys of mercury, silver, and other metals. However, their appearance means that they are not aesthetically pleasing.

Should I prefer it?

Depending on the loss of substance in the front teeth, filling applications may be required. Porcelain fillings are a filling method that was developed to protect healthy tooth tissue in cases where there is too much loss of substance and the reduction of the entire tooth is necessary for a crown. It is preferred over amalgam fillings because it is more aesthetic and useful.

Is it healthy?

This porcelain filling, which has the same hardness as the teeth, prevents fractures caused by the bite force and ensures that the tooth is as healthy as before.

Since it is the same color as the teeth, the filling is so natural that it cannot be distinguished with the naked eye.

How is it done?

If there is excessive material loss on the tooth, a tooth filling is unavoidable. It is usually used on the back molars.

The dental fillings are both aesthetic and resistant to the pressure of chewing and are a long-term reliable treatment method. When filling, the main rule is to prepare a good cavity (cavity) and try to regain the natural shape before the decay with the filling to be made in the tooth. This depends on the type of filling used, the position of the tooth and the function.

How long does it take?
In the first session, with the exception of the diseased tooth areas and without abrasion of the healthy tissue for the posture, the dimensions of the prepared cavities are sent to the laboratory. Here the porcelain filling specially made for this patient’s tooth is prepared, which will complete the missing structure of the tooth and fix it to the patient’s tooth in the second session.
