Do you have one or several teeth with severe cavities?

Do you have one or more teeth with large old composite filling?

Do you have one or several grinding teeth worn off?

Do you have one or several teeth with inlays or crowns that are opposite to those with decay?

Have you experienced constant composite filling failures before?

Do you want to restore your tooth with some long lasting material?

It seems you do not need to have a dental inlay for your tooth since you are displaying no signs of having heavy cavities or some other conditions. Dental inlays are used to restore teeth with rather extensive damage affecting the major part of a tooth. Remember to visit your dentist every 6 months for regular checkups to prevent cavities.

While it is unlikely you strongly need to use a dental inlay to repair your tooth you are displaying some signs of having your teeth damage. Some existing conditions can be restored with a composite filling first. Fillings are good for repairing small to medium cavities and they cost less. However, such fillings can last not so long and need more attention paid during your regular checkups. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and further examination.

Based on your answers, you are likely to need a dental inlay since you are displaying numerous signs of having particular conditions that may be treated this way. Ceramic or dioxide inlays are used to repair large chewing surface of your premolars and molars. Especially when you have interdental cavities that need rather tight fitment due to gum tissue health. You may need a silicone impression of your tooth beforehand for the high quality result. This method eliminates filling replacement and is more stable to using the restored tooth like your natural. Inlays last longer and have less risks of having secondary decay. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and further examination.
