Bonding, Inlays And Onlays At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
Sometimes a filling is too small to solve the problem. Sometimes a crown feels like too much. That’s when bonding, inlays, or onlays may be the right fit. Each of these options repairs teeth in different ways, depending on the size and location of the damage.
Dental Bonding
Bonding is used to fix smaller issues — a chipped edge, a small gap, or a tooth that looks out of place. A tooth-coloured material is applied, shaped to blend in, and then hardened. It’s quick, often done in one visit, and doesn’t require removing much of the natural tooth.
Inlays
An inlay is made outside the mouth, usually in a lab, and then placed inside the chewing surface of a tooth. It’s stronger than a regular filling and works well for areas that take more pressure when you bite.
Onlays
Onlays cover a larger part of the tooth, sometimes including the cusps. They’re often called “partial crowns” because they strengthen the tooth without covering it completely.
What To Expect
Bonding is usually done in one appointment. Inlays and onlays take longer. The first visit is for preparing the tooth and taking an impression. At the second visit, the dentist bonds the finished piece in place. The result is a repair that feels comfortable and functions like your natural tooth.
