Dental Inlays/Onlays vs Crowns - Which is Better?

1
DENTAL INLAYS AND ONLAYS VS CROWNS
WHICH IS BETTER?
2
Finding out that you have a cavity is never fun.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
3
Yet, we have several options that we can choose
from
to restore your tooth back to better health.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
4
When you have a cavity,
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
we assess its size and location.
5
Then, we make recommendations for a restoration
that we believe will offer the best chances for
long term success.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
6
Inlays, onlays and crowns all have their place
for repairing teeth.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
7
Understanding how each one works helps you know
why we think one is better than another to
include in your treatment plan.

When You Need
MORE THAN A FILLING
9
Cavities that are caught early can usually be
drilled out and filled with a composite or
amalgam material.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
10
In some cases, the tooth decay is too
extensive, and we need to remove more of the
tooth than we would for a normal filling.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
11
You can also have decay on the cusp of a tooth.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
This is often harder to repair with a simple
filling.
12
Inlays, onlays and crowns provide more support
for
a tooth that has had a large amount of its
surface removed.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
13
The Difference Between
AN INLAY AND AN ONLAY
14
An inlay is a solid piece of material that is
used to fill in the space after your cavity is
drilled out.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
15
This type of restoration is made to fill in
cavities
that occur between the cusps of your tooth.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
16
Onlays are more like a partial crown.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
17
They are made to fit over the cusp of your
tooth, but they do not cover the entire tooth
like a crown does.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
18
Both inlays and onlays can be made from metal
such as gold for teeth that are not visible
when you smile.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
19
You can also have these made in composite resin
or porcelain to match your tooth color.

Reasons Why Your Dentist May
RECOMMEND A CROWN
21
Crowns are often recommended when a large part
of your tooths structure must be removed.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
22
We often use crowns after a root canal procedure
to make the tooth stronger.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
23
Since crowns cover the tooth from the gum line
up, they are also an option to cover teeth that
are discolored or fractured.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
24

• A crown is more invasive than an inlay or onlay,
  but it also has benefits such as being the

JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
strongest out of all of the options.
25
They can also be made from porcelain or metal.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
26
We can also offer you porcelain fused to metal
crowns that add extra strength to the
restoration.
JACOB VANCOUVER COMPANY CEO
27
These are often ideal for use on the back teeth
where biting forces are stronger.

What to Expect With
EACH PROCEDURE
29
Each of these restorations requires us to custom
make them to fit the shape of your tooth.
30
For this reason, having an inlay, onlay or crown
placed involves more than one visit.
31
During your first visit, we prepare the tooth by
removing decay
or performing a root canal.
32
Then, we make a mold of your tooth that is sent
to the dental laboratory
to create the restoration.
33
A temporary crown or inlay can be put on your
tooth while you wait.
34
Once we get your restoration back, we remove the
temporary filling or crown and place your
restoration.
35
Whether you need an inlay or a crown, you need
to trust the advice of your dentist.
36
Always ask us any questions that you have about
your treatment.
37
This way, we can explain why a particular
restoration is better than another so that you
can make an educated decision about your oral
health.

care clinic with dentists that care about you
and your health.
