Gold and ceramic inlays:
(Laboratory-made inlays)
The most durable and hygienic supply is still a gold or ceramic inlay. These fillings are associated with high technical complexity and are produced in the dental laboratory. Before that, however, the old defective filling must be removed or caries must be eliminated. After the tooth has been prepared by the dentist, an impression is taken. A few days later, the treatment can be completed with the integration of the inlay. But the effort is worthwhile, because these fillings have a high durability. If ceramic inlays are used even the expert will have difficulties to recognize the dental reconstruction!
Inlays can also be made of gold or a cheaper metal. The total cost will be lower but you will not have such a perfect result as when using ceramic inlays.
Yours sincerely
