Ceramic Inlays and Onlays

An effective Cosmetic Restoration for rear teeth replacing unsightly fillings

If we need to repair large cavities in your rear 'chewing' teeth then ceramic inlays produce a far superior cosmetic result. Inlays are also a very popular way of replacing old amalgam fillings.

Even those who have attened the dentists regularly don't always look so good when they 'open wide'. The blackened apperance of traditional amalgam fillings certainly does spoil the appearance of otherwise well looked-after teeth. Cermic Inlays is an answer to this problem.

Ceramic inlays have a number of advantages. They produce an extremely effective aesthetic result. The materials used reflect light in a similar way to natural tooth enamel. Also, we are able to select from a wide range of colours so that we can match the colour your own teeth. This means that when you smile, or laugh, the appearance will be that or a perfect set of natural teeth teeth.
 
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. This needs to be done with great care and special equipment. Amalgam fillings contain Mercury. Although this is considered quite safe there is a concern that its removal might pose a health risk and so special high powered vacuum equipment is needed to ensure that no Mercury vapour is ingested.

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.
