Precision Restorations for Strength & Aesthetics
When tooth decay or damage extends beyond what a regular filling can repair, inlays and onlays provide an advanced solution that strengthens and preserves your natural tooth structure. These restorations are custom-made to fit perfectly, offering superior durability and aesthetics.
What Are Inlays & Onlays?
- Inlays: Designed to fit in the area between the cusps of the tooth, replacing decayed or damaged areas while preserving as much healthy structure as possible.
- Onlays/Overlays: Extending over one or more cusps of the tooth, onlays are used when more extensive coverage is needed without requiring a full crown.
Both inlays and onlays are crafted from high-quality ceramic or composite materials blocks, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural appearance.
Why Choose Inlays & Onlays?
- Strength – More durable than traditional fillings, reducing the risk of fractures.
- Aesthetics – Custom-made to match the color and texture of your teeth.
- Tooth Preservation – Unlike crowns, inlays and onlays conserve more of the healthy tooth structure.
- Precision Fit – Created in a dental lab or with computer-assisted milling for a flawless restoration.
The Treatment Process
After removing any decay or old fillings, a digital impression of your teeth is taken to create the perfect restoration. While your inlay or onlay is being crafted, a temporary is placed on the prepared tooth. Once ready, the custom piece is bonded securely to the tooth, restoring its function and aesthetics.
If you’re looking for a long-lasting, minimally invasive solution for damaged teeth, inlays and onlays may be the ideal choice.
