What the appointment may involve
The tooth is prepared and scanned or impressed; a lab-made or chairside restoration is then bonded in place.
Good to know before choosing care
An inlay preserves more natural tooth than many crowns but is not suitable for every crack or cavity.
Questions worth asking a practice
- What exam or records are needed before confirming that dental inlays is appropriate?
- What alternatives, material choices, risks, and likely follow-up should I consider?
- Who will perform the procedure, and does my situation call for a specialist?
- What does the estimate include, and how will insurance benefits or financing be verified?
