When a tooth has a small cavity, the decayed part is removed and the cavity rebuilt with latest-generation resin materials that bond perfectly and restore the tooth in an aesthetic, lasting way.
For larger cavities, where more strength is needed, we use an inlay: a custom restoration made in a laboratory and then cemented onto the tooth, ideal for major reconstructions that need to last over time.
We assess the extent of the decay and choose the most suitable solution together.
Under local anaesthetic, we remove the damaged part while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible.
A direct resin filling, or an impression for a custom inlay in the case of a large cavity.
A bite check and polishing, for a natural, comfortable result.
The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so it's painless. Mild sensitivity in the following days is normal and temporary.
A filling directly rebuilds small or medium cavities; an inlay is a restoration made in a laboratory, indicated for larger cavities.
With good hygiene and regular check-ups it can last many years. It depends on the size of the restoration and daily habits.
