Inlays and Onlays in Lehi
What are Inlays and Onlays?
What to Expect When Getting Inlays and Onlays
- The first step the dentist will take is putting a local anesthetic to numb the area.
- Then, the dentist will remove the decayed area of the tooth.
- The dentist will then take impressions of the teeth so that either the inlay or onlay will have the perfect fit to your tooth. The impression will be sent out for the permanent inlay or onlay to be made, while the temporary one will be made in the office.
- The next step will be to schedule a second appointment to fit your permanent inlay or onlay and cement it to the tooth.
- The last step is to shape and polish to make sure that the inlay or onlay is the perfect fit and looks like the natural tooth.
