The procedure begins by removing any old filling material or areas of decay from the tooth. If there is a break or crack, we may smooth out any rough edges before impressions are taken. Impressions of the area are taken by our staff and used to make the new restoration. You’ll come back in for a second visit so that we can place the permanent restoration. We adjust the way it fits and feels before you leave the office. You can expect the new restoration to last for several decades before it should be replaced with a new one.
If you think you need an inlay or an onlay, we can help to answer all of your questions when you contact our office.
