At the first appointment
Before taking imprints of the opposing set of teeth, numb the tooth.
Getting down to the natural tooth by removing any decay and any existing fillings, followed by shaping the residual cavity.
Additionally, any tooth fragments that are fragile will be removed by the dentist in order to guard against future fractures in that region.
Taking a final cavity impression.
Taking a bite register will allow you to document how you erupt your teeth. Constructing a temporary. This can be accomplished by using the impression made prior to the preparation of the tooth.
At the second appointment.
The tooth will have to be numbed again.
The temporary is eliminated, frequently by flicking it out with some pressure from a hand tool and a scaler.
The temporary cement is then completely removed, rinsed, and dried from the tooth. The dentist will then test the inlay or onlay to see how it fits and makes contact with the nearby teeth.
Other materials require a number of processes, including prepping the tooth and the inside of the porcelain before gluing them together.
Finally, your bite will be modified such that it feels comfortable and that all of your other teeth meet normally.
