Offering Inlays and Onlays

Argyle, TX – Dr. Jonathan Golab, an Argyle dentist , uses a philosophy of conservative dentistry when treating his patients. One of the results of this philosophy is the use of inlays and onlays in the place of crowns or caps. Conservative dentistry is the belief that conserving as much of the natural tooth as possible is the best approach for the patient. We do not believe in using mercury or metal fillings or cap. Mercury is actually 150-year-old technology. Today we have better options, says Dr. Golab, an Argyle dental care practitioner. “Instead, inlays and onlays are less invasive,” he says. “They don’t require removing as much of the natural tooth. They can also prevent more invasive procedures such as crowns or root canals.” Our office can replace your old, deteriorating mercury fillings with attractive, natural-looking, porcelain inlays and onlays. Inlays are used to treat decay that occurs on the tooth’s top indentation.

Dr. Golab, an Argyle cosmetic dentistry provider uses onlays when the decay is on the tooth’s cusps or top protrusions. Today’s porcelain inlays and onlays do not require the kind of grinding down of the tooth that conventional caps need. Because using this technology keeps more of your natural tooth, it helps your teeth stay stronger and last longer. Inlays and onlays are attractive and blend well with the natural tooth, becoming almost invisible. Because our Argyle dentistry office custom fits them to your tooth, they bond securely and reinforce your tooth’s natural structure. The procedure for fitting onlays or inlays usually takes two visits. The tooth is prepared by removing any existing fillings or decay. Then Golab, an Argyle dental implants provider, will take an impression of the tooth and position a temporary inlay or onlay. Our office sends the impression to a dental laboratory to create a custom porcelain inlay or onlay. At your second appointment, the temporary will be removed and the inlay or onlay will be bonded to the tooth. “My patients have been very pleased with the results,” says Dr. Golab, an Argyle invisalign provider. “The porcelain inlays and onlays look and feel very natural. It’s a win-win treatment for each patient.”
