Inlays and Onlays

icon

An inlay or onlay is a strong, custom-made restoration usually made from durable ceramic. When a large part of a tooth is lost, the traditional solution is a full crown that covers the entire tooth.

Modern adhesive dentistry allows us to use smaller restorations like inlays and onlays, which preserve more of your natural tooth structure. These restorations are also often more affordable than full crowns, while providing excellent strength and a natural appearance.

Steps to the Perfect Restoration

01 Step
Dental consultation

Book a consultation with our dental experts, who will examine your tooth and determine whether an inlay or onlay is the best option for you.

02 Step
Denture fabrication

The tooth is prepared for the restoration, and precise measurements are taken using a digital scanner or a traditional dental impression to ensure a perfect fit.

03 Step
Denture fitting

Once ready, the inlay or onlay is carefully placed and adjusted so it fits naturally with your bite, giving you a strong and aesthetically pleasing tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Are Onlays Better Than Crowns? -
Onlays preserve more of your natural tooth compared to crowns while providing strong support for damaged areas. They are often preferred when the tooth does not need full coverage.

Inlays are stronger and more durable than regular fillings and are ideal for larger cavities or damaged areas that need extra support.
What’s the difference between an inlay and an onlay? +
An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay covers one or more of the tooth’s cusps, providing more extensive restoration.
What materials are used for inlays and onlays? +
Inlays and onlays are usually made from strong ceramics or composite resin, which are long-lasting and match the natural colour of your teeth.
How long do inlays and onlays last? +
With proper care and regular dental visits, inlays and onlays can last many years, sometimes even longer than traditional fillings.
