Precision Repairs for a Stronger, Brighter Smile!
Inlays and onlays are advanced dental restorations that provide a strong and natural-looking solution for repairing damaged or decayed teeth. Often referred to as indirect fillings, they are custom-made to fit perfectly into your tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
Tooth onlays and inlays are restorations designed to repair teeth with moderate damage or decay that is too extensive for a traditional filling but not severe enough to require a crown. Both are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or gold and are bonded to your tooth for a long-lasting result.
Made from high-quality materials, inlays and onlays provide excellent resistance to wear and can last for many years with proper care.
Unlike crowns, inlays and onlays require minimal removal of the tooth, helping to maintain its integrity.
Porcelain and composite inlays and onlays are color-matched to your teeth, blending seamlessly for a natural look.
Because they are custom-made in a dental lab, onlays and inlays fit precisely, reducing the risk of bacteria entering the tooth.
Getting an inlay or onlay typically involves two appointments:
Your dentist will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and take an impression of the area. A temporary restoration is placed while your custom inlay or onlay is being crafted in a dental lab.
Once your inlay or onlay is ready, your dentist will bond it to your tooth using a strong adhesive. The restoration is polished for a smooth and natural finish.
Onlays and inlays are ideal for repairing teeth with moderate decay or damage that is too extensive for a traditional filling but not severe enough to require a crown.
These restorations are perfect for individuals who want a conservative treatment option, as inlays and onlays require minimal removal of the natural tooth structure compared to crowns.
Onlays and inlays are made from strong materials like porcelain or composite resin, making them a durable option for patients who want a restoration that lasts for years.
Patients who want a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with their teeth are excellent candidates for inlays and onlays, as they can be color-matched to the surrounding enamel.
