Tooth decay needs filling. Is inlay restoration also a tooth filling?

Inlay restoration is a method of filling teeth, which is usually used to repair tooth defects or fractures. It is a customized prosthesis, which is customized by the dentist according to the shape and defect of the patient's teeth, and then implanted into the teeth to restore the shape and function of the teeth.

Compared with traditional filling methods, inlay restoration is more accurate and personalized. It can better restore the shape and function of teeth and reduce the possibility of further damage to teeth. In addition, inlay restoration materials usually have high wear resistance and compressive strength, and can better withstand the pressure and wear in daily use.

However, inlay restoration is not suitable for all tooth defects. Its application scope is relatively narrow, and it is mainly suitable for cases with large tooth defects, broken teeth or enamel loss. Before choosing inlay restoration, the dentist will evaluate it and make personalized treatment plan according to the patient's specific situation.

In a word, inlay restoration is a high-end filling method, which can better restore the shape and function of teeth. Suitable for large area tooth defect, tooth fracture or enamel loss. Compared with traditional filling methods, inlay restoration is more accurate and personalized, which can provide better restoration effect and service life. However, before choosing, patients need to consult a dentist for evaluation to determine whether inlay restoration is suitable.
