Inlays and Onlays from Antoine Dental Center<\/a> in Houston are restorative treatments<\/em> that can be used to\u00a0repair molars damaged by decay or physical trauma<\/em>. In many cases, these options are used for teeth that might be further compromised if traditional fillings were used. Both inlays and onlays involve placement of preformed composites or other substances into treated teeth, but they differ in terms of their size and the extent of their applications.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”\/\/i0.wp.com\/antoinedentalcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dental_Fillings-03_1617240324837.png” alt=”Inlays & Onlays in Houston” title_text=”Dental_Fillings-03_1617240324837″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#43B78D” custom_margin=”11px||38px|||” custom_padding=”18px|||||” inline_fonts=”Open Sans” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Dental inlays are named for the fact that they are laid into, rather than over, teeth. These restorations are used for repairing damage on molars that is only within the cusps, or outer ridges, of the chewing surfaces. In some cases, damaged direct fillings are removed and replaced with indirect fillings.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#43B78D” custom_margin=”9px|||||” inline_fonts=”Open Sans” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n These are similar to their inlay counterparts, except that they are larger, making them appropriate for repairing damage over a wider area. As their name suggests, these indirect fillings are basically laid over teeth. Damage on the cusps of rear molar chewing surfaces is treated with this option.Inlays and onlays are both potentially better-looking alternatives to amalgam fillings<\/a> or metal crowns<\/a>, and their durability supports tooth strength better and allows restorations to last longer than alternatives. Unlike traditional metal fillings, inlays and onlays from our Houston dental office do not expand and contract and will not place tooth structure at risk as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_text_color=”#43B78D” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Inlays and onlays are very durable. They are created with stronger material than dental fillings because they’re created outside of the mouth. With good hygiene and regular six month check up, inlays and onlays can last 25+ years.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”20px” header_3_text_color=”#43B78D” custom_padding=”||27px|||” inline_fonts=”Open Sans” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_blur=”32px” box_shadow_spread=”3px” global_module=”354743″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||17px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”tel:%20713-691-8880″ button_text=”Call Now!
