Inlays
An inlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. Porcelain inlays
are popular because they resemble your natural tooth. A porcelain inlay is made by a professional dental laboratory and is
permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist.
Inlays can be utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective fillings or have been damaged by decay or
trauma. Inlays are an ideal alternative to conventional silver and composite fillings. Also, they are more conservative than
crowns because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of inlays.
As with most dental restorations, inlays are not always permanent and may someday require replacement. They are highly
durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.

What does getting an inlay involve?
At Normandy Dentistry, using CEREC technology we can save you time by performing the inlay procedure in one
appointment. Typically, inlay appointments require a minimum of two appointments separated by two weeks
of laboratory work. That's a lot of time in the chair, with a temporary, and away from work.
With CEREC technology, a specialized camera is used to take a highly accurate digital impression that will be used to create
your custom porcelain inlay on site.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will remove any decay and/or old filling materials. The space will then be thoroughly
cleaned and carefully prepared, shaping the surface to properly fit an inlay restoration. A digital impression is then taken and
your porcelain inlay is then designed on our computer for an accurate beautiful fit. Once designed, the computer wirelessly
transmits the information to our CEREC milling unit that will carve your inlay out of a solid piece of porcelain.
As soon as the machine is done, your new inlay will be carefully and precisely cemented into place. A few adjustments may
be necessary to ensure a proper fit and that your bite is comfortable.
You will receive care instruction at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, a proper diet, and regular
dental visits will aid in the life of your new inlay.
