When a tooth is damaged or decayed it’s function will diminish over time and the decay will spread. To avoid further damage, the tooth needs to be repaired.
A dental inlay is a solid porcelain piece to cover large cavities on the top interior of a molar.The procedure is relatively simple and straightforward. A local anesthetic is administered. Once the area is numb the decay is removed. The inlay is made from porcelain with an impression of the tooth. Coloring is matched to your tooth.
