Gold Inlay

Bright Dental Surgery, St Johns, Woking

A gold inlay is a custom-made filling designed to repair decayed or damaged teeth, offering long-lasting strength and durability.

A gold inlay is a type of dental restoration that’s used to fix a tooth with moderate decay or damage. Instead of placing a filling directly into the tooth, a gold inlay is custom-made in a lab and then bonded to the tooth.

Gold inlays are particularly strong and durable, which makes them a great option for repairing teeth that endure a lot of chewing, like your molars. The process starts with your dentist cleaning out the decay and shaping the cavity. Then, they take an impression of the tooth, which is sent off to a lab where the inlay is crafted to fit perfectly. While you wait for the inlay, your dentist might place a temporary filling to protect your tooth. Once the gold inlay is ready, it’s bonded securely into place.

Gold is one of the most durable materials used in dentistry, so a gold inlay can last for many years, often much longer than other types of fillings. It’s also very biocompatible, meaning it’s unlikely to cause any allergic reactions or irritation.

On the downside, gold inlays are noticeable because of their color, so they’re usually chosen for teeth that aren’t visible when you smile. They’re also more expensive than other types of fillings, but many people find the cost worth it for the durability and longevity they offer.

If you need a strong, long-lasting restoration, especially for a back tooth, a gold inlay could be a great option for you. It’s a tried-and-true solution that’s been used in dentistry for years with excellent results.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Your Smile, Our Success

Our highest priority is our patients' satisfaction. We take pride in the trust our patients place in us, and nothing speaks louder than their words.

    I am very happy with this dentist. I moved to this dentist after a bad experience at my old one, which always made me feel comfortable and at ease. I moved out of the area but will still use this dentist and can’t recommend it enough.

    C Fitzgerald

    Excellent Dentist practice, always able to get an appointment quickly. Reception staff was very pleasant and helpful. Mr. Ojo gets on with examinations and treatment quickly and painlessly, with no ambiguity, knows his stuff and gets the job done. I have been visiting this dentist practice for many years in Woking and now at their new premises in St. John’s. Would highly recommend!

    M Rush

    Sadly, I am a nervous patient from past bad experiences, so it is very important for me to find a dentist who listens and makes me feel reassured. That’s exactly what I received in a caring way. I am also extremely impressed with the hygienist, who does an excellent job and leaves me with a gleaming smile. The Receptionists, Charlotte and Gemma, are both efficient and delightful.

    C Lynch

    Dr Mundakapadam has been a wonderful dentist for my two daughters (and myself). He has been patient and always explains exactly what he is doing, reassuring them. He is gentle and works quickly to avoid keeping them in the chair for long periods when fillings are required. I appreciate his care and professionalism and will continue to frequent BDS for our checkups.

    C Botha

    Amazing dental practice! I’m a very nervous patient, but I must say all the staff are great, so much so that I am returning for the third time next month! I highly recommend this practice to anyone who suffers from dental phobias or those who don’t! Thank you to you all, and not forgetting the receptionists!

    I came today for my appointment and was completely and utterly scared as I have a phobia of dentists. Today changed my experience for the better. I was welcomed so nice and calmed down very quickly and easily thank you to my dentists amar. I generally could not be happier thank you again

    C Kent

    I can’t thank Dr Schibin and the whole team enough. My very nervous daughter was in for a tooth extraction. She was made to feel immediately calm and has now said that she likes going to the dentist and has no fear of returning. There was no judgment from the dentist, and everything was explained. The reception team were fantastic from the booking through to greet us.

    I am incredibly grateful to Amar Sur for the treatment I received. As a nervous patient, his expertise and personalised approach put me at ease and transformed my oral health. During my initial consultation, Amar devised a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my needs. I am very grateful for Amar’s expertise, professionalism, and genuine compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend Amar to anyone in need of exceptional periodontal care.

    A Sidhu

    Normally, I’m nervous about dental visits, but Amar put me completely at ease. He provided fantastic service, patiently answering all my questions and easing my worries about my teeth. I highly recommend Amar for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!
