The Many Benefits of Indirect Resin Applications
An indirect resin is a custom-made, white plastic restoration whose purpose is to bond to a damaged tooth and restore its cosmetic appearance and almost the full amount of its original strength.
One of the biggest advantages offered by an indirect resin is its ability to preserve much more of the original structure of a tooth compared to that of an ordinary filling.
The origin of the term “indirect resin” lies in the tact that this restoration must be manufactured in a dental laboratory instead of it being applied directly to your mouth. The laboratory must first harden the dental restoration through a special process. This involves curing the material with specific amounts of heat and pressure in order to make it much, much more durable.
The actual material used to make an indirect resin is made from either a special type of plastic or plastic material, mixed with glass. This material is tooth colored by nature, and is available in a variety of shades that allows us to closely match its color to the color of your existing, natural teeth.
In order to restore a tooth with an indirect resin, it takes multiple appointments. This first appointment focuses on removing decayed, damaged, or weakened portions of a tooth. We also have to remove old dental fillings if they are still present. We make this procedure very comfortable for you by numbing the around the tooth so that you will not feel pain while we are working.
We next take an impression of your teeth in order to create a working model of your mouth. The lab needs this model so it can accurately manufacture your indirect resin according to the parameters of both your existing teeth and the teeth we have prepared for treatment. By making a model of your entire mouth, we are able to restore the tooth both medically and cosmetically. By treating the tooth as one of many that exist in relationship to one another, we can better correct your natural bit.
We then send this model off to the lab. In the meantime, we must place a temporary restoration in your tooth in order to preserve the preparatory work we have done and to ensure that no further decay ensues in the meantime.
Meanwhile, at the dental laboratory, the resin material is carefully placed into the model. Your indirect resin is then individually designed and colored to match it to your teeth in as much of a lifelike manner as possible.
When you return to our office the second time, we remove the temporary filling and place a conditioning gel on your tooth in order to get it ready for the new resin filling. We then place the bonding agent in the tooth, and use a special, high-intensity light to bond your indirect resin restoration to the tooth.
After removing all excess cement, we adjust your bite, and then we polish the restoration to a high luster.
It is normal for you to have some sensitivity to hot or cold in the area, but this should soon go away after a few days. If you have any more problems, questions, or concerns, just call our office.
