| Once bonded to the tooth ceramic inlays are very strong, and afford a good long lasting seal. Ceramic inlays are long lasting and stain resistant.
The process for restoring a tooth with an inlay is however somewhat longer than is needed for a normal filling and will cost quite a lot more. You will need to visit Heviz for one week. During that time you will have two appointments: one at the beginning of the week and the other at the end.
During your first visit, the old filling, or the decay, will be removed, and the tooth prepared. We will then make an impression of the tooth and find the best colour match with your natural teeth. We will of course seal and protect your tooth so that you are comfortable while the inlay is being made.
The impression then goes to our dental laboratory where it is used to make the custom-made porcelain, inlay. You will have a few days to relax and enjoy the spa facilities of Heviz or travel to Budapest for some sightseeing.
When your inlay is ready we will remove the temporary sealants and fit the inlay to your tooth and undertake any adjustment needed to ensure a god ‘bite’. When the inlay is a good fit we bond it into the tooth with a strong resin, and polish it smooth.
Once fitted a ceramic inlay needs no special attention to maintain it in good condition. You should however avoid biting hard objects so as not to fracture it. |
