Inlays & Onlays
PRECISION DENTAL RESTORATIONS FOR DAMAGED TEETH
When a tooth is too damaged for a traditional filling but not severe enough for a crown, inlays and onlays offer a durable, natural-looking solution. These custom-made restorations strengthen and protect your teeth while preserving as much of your natural structure as possible.
WHAT ARE INLAYS & ONLAYS?
Inlays – Used to repair damage within the cusps (chewing surface) of a tooth.
Onlays – Extend over one or more cusps, providing additional reinforcement for weakened teeth.
Both options are crafted from porcelain, composite resin, or gold for a seamless, long-lasting result.
BENEFITS OF INLAYS & ONLAYS
Stronger than Fillings – Provides more structural support for weakened teeth.
Preserves Natural Tooth – Requires less removal of healthy enamel compared to crowns.
Seamless Aesthetics – Custom-matched to the natural shade of your teeth.
Resistant to Staining & Wear – Long-lasting and highly durable solution.
Prevents Further Decay – Seals and protects the tooth from bacteria and damage.
THE INLAY & ONLAY PROCEDURE
01
Consultation & Assessment
Your dentist will examine the affected tooth, take digital scans, and determine whether an inlay or onlay is the best solution.
02
Tooth Preparation
The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, preserving as much of the healthy tooth as possible.
03
Custom Fabrication
A precise mold is taken and sent to a dental lab, where your custom inlay or onlay is created to match your tooth’s shape and color.
04
Placement & Bonding
Once ready, the inlay or onlay is permanently bonded to your tooth for a secure and natural fit.
WHEN ARE INLAYS & ONLAYS RECOMMENDED?
When a tooth has moderate decay or damage but does not require a crown.
If a large filling has compromised the strength of the tooth.
For back teeth that endure strong biting forces.
When seeking a stronger and longer-lasting alternative to traditional fillings.
