Several factors influence what type of material is utilized for the restoration.\u00a0 Commonly, we utilize tooth colored restorations because they are bonded directly to the tooth and they contain fluoride releasing components which can help prevent future decay.\u00a0 Also, they are more esthetically pleasing to the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Indirect restorations, including inlays and onlays, can be fabricated at the dental laboratory and then bonded to the tooth at another appointment.\u00a0 These are utilized when there are other factors to consider, such as limited tooth structure and extreme forces due to chewing (such as in the back of the mouth).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4420,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"pj-categs":[32],"pj-tags":[],"class_list":["post-3124","project","type-project","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pj-categs-general-dentistry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tooth Colored Restorations in Forney &amp; Seagoville, TX | Empower Dental<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fix cavities with natural-looking tooth restorations in Forney, TX at Empower Dental.
