Inlay, onlay, overlay Košice

Benefits

Inlay, onlay and overlay are modern fillings that serve as a replacement for a damaged part of the tooth. Unlike conventional fillings, they are made to measure and are inserted into the tooth as one unit. They are used when the damage to the tooth is too great for a classic filling, but not so much that a crown is needed.

  • High aesthetics and natural appearance
  • Resistance that lasts for years
  • They do not require grinding the entire tooth, like crowns
  • Biocompatible material
  • Strengthening the tooth, reducing the risk of further damage

How is the inlay/onlay/overlay procedure performed

1./ Examination and diagnosis

The dentist will inspect and assess the extent of the damage to your tooth and determine if an inlay, onlay, or overlay is a suitable solution for you. The examination will use X-rays to see the depth of the damage.

2./ Tooth preparation

After local anesthesia, the dentist removes the damaged or decayed tissue. The tooth is then gently prepared so that the inlay / onlay / overlay filling can fit perfectly.

3./ Fingerprint or 3D scan

After the initial preparation, the dentist will take an accurate impression or digital scan of the tooth. Based on this, the dental technician will fabricate a precisely shaped ceramic filling.

4./ Temporary filling

The production of a permanent inlay / onlay / overlay filling takes approximately 1–2 weeks. During this time, the dentist covers the tooth with a temporary filling that protects it and maintains comfort when chewing.

5./ Placing a ceramic filling

After the final filling is made, the dentist checks it, tries it on, and if everything fits perfectly, he permanently glues it to the prepared tooth with a special dental cement.

6./ Bite check and completion

Finally, the dentist checks the height of the inlay / onlay / overlay filling and makes minor adjustments to ensure it fits perfectly into the bite. The tooth is immediately functional and aesthetically indistinguishable from the others.
