All-ceramic inlays, gold inlays and partial crowns have an average lifespan of 20 years. The latest scientific study provides us with a survival rate of 86% after 18 years (Reiss et. al. 2006). The durability is also dependent on the location and size.
Oral hygiene also has a decisive influence on the lifespan, so please use floss or interdental brushes. Our hygienist will be able to propose a robust oral hygiene routine that not only increases the longevity of your inlays but also the health of your teeth and gums.
Please ensure you regularly attend dental check-ups so that our dental professionals can check, clean and maintain your inlays regularly.
