Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays

Restorative dental procedures are provided here at New York Dental Studio, which include inlays and onlays. These types of restorative procedures are completed using composite resin, and similar to a partial crown. It is the same basic procedure as fitting a crown, except they do not cover the tooth fully. Patients who want to cover decay or get fillings, have discoloration or staining, or have damage to their tooth from a crack or chip, benefit from inlays and onlays.

 

Inlays are placed inside the cusp of the tooth, while outlays are on the outside of the tooth. The basic procedure for inlays and onlays in our practice goes as follows:

 

1. Decayed parts of the tooth are first removed, as well as any infected areas.

2. The tooth is cleaned and sterilized thoroughly.

3. An impression is made of the tooth and sent to a dental lab. Temporary restorations are available.

4. In two weeks, patients return to have the inlay or onlay bonded to their tooth.

 

If you are in need of inlays or onlays, call our dentist Dr. Brandon Huang at 212-588-1809 to schedule an appointment.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays

Here at New York Dental Studio, we provide a wide range of dental services and utilize modern technology. Our technology includes digital x-rays, which provide more detailed and effective images of the mouth, teeth and other structures, with less radiation than traditional x-rays.

 

Our patients find digital x-rays to be a more comfortable and quick procedure and prefer them over other bitewing x-rays. Patients need to get x-rays performed about once a year, or more often if they are having a dental problem and need a diagnosis.

 

Benefits of getting images with digital x-rays include the following:

• Up to 80 percent less radiation for digital x-rays.
• Less chemicals used in the office.
• X-ray images that are processed more quickly.
• The ability to adjust the images for better diagnosis.

Even the smell of our office is more pleasing to patients, because it doesn’t have that strong chemical smell. It makes young and old patients feel more at ease when they arrive for their appointment. If you need to get x-rays done, visit Dr. Brandon Huang in New York, NY for a full set of digital x-ray.
