Inlays

Fillings are often used for patients who have small cavities or areas of the tooth decay. Dental crowns are necessary to cover teeth that have extensive fillings and may be more susceptible to damage. However, there are situations in which tooth decay is too large for a filling but too small to require a dental crown. In this situation, a dentist such as Dr. Löberg may suggest a dental inlay.

Inlays are similar to crowns, but are made to go inside of a tooth. When dental decay is detected, it is cleaned and removed from the tooth. An inlay is made and placed in this area; it is shaped to fit precisely, which seals it. Inlays are made to be cosmetically appealing and dentists will often use porcelain to fabricate them. This is because porcelain closely resembles natural tooth enamel and blends in nicely with the existing tooth structure. The inlays are bonded with dental cement to fill the space, and they will last a long time with proper care, maintenance, and regular examinations with Dr. Löberg.

Dr. Löberg of Löberg Professional Dental Corporation offers inlays, as well as other restorations to improve the tooth structure.
