Inlay and Onlay Dental Restorations

Restore the Natural Appearance and Function of Your Teeth

Unlike filling materials, inlays and onlays are custom-made in a laboratory and placed precisely in the damaged area of the tooth. Inlays repair the inner part of the tooth, while onlays cover the outer surface as well, addressing larger damages. These restorations are shaped to match the natural structure of the tooth, and the color is matched to the surrounding teeth, resulting in a very natural appearance.

Inlay and onlay dental restorations are usually completed in several steps. First, the dentist examines the damaged tooth and takes the necessary measurements. Then, the custom-made inlay or onlay is placed on the tooth. These restorations are permanently bonded to the tooth, and final adjustments are made to ensure a proper fit.

These treatments offer many advantages. First, they preserve the natural structure of the teeth and provide a durable solution. Additionally, inlays and onlays can be custom-made to suit the size and location of the damage in the tooth, offering a more personalized treatment. Lastly, the smooth surfaces of these restorations ensure a natural fit without harming the gums or adjacent teeth.
