What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

Durable Tooth Repair

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

Preserve Natural Tooth Structure

Inlays and onlays require less tooth removal than a crown, helping to preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Enhanced Aesthetics

Made from tooth-coloured porcelain, inlays and onlays are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, providing a flawless repair.

Long-lasting Solution

With proper care, inlays and onlays are extremely durable and provide a long-term solution to tooth decay and damage.

The Treatment Process

1. Initial Consultation During your first visit, your dentist will assess the extent of tooth damage and discuss whether an inlay or onlay is suitable for you.
2. Tooth Preparation The damaged or decayed area of the tooth is carefully removed, and the tooth is prepared for the inlay or onlay.
3. Impression and Fabrication An impression of your tooth is taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom inlay or onlay is crafted to match the exact shape and colour of your tooth.
4. Final Placement Once ready, the inlay or onlay is securely bonded to your tooth during a second appointment. We ensure it fits perfectly with your bite to provide comfort and functionality.
