Providing extra protection and strength to back teeth with minimal preparation required, inlays and onlays are bespoke dental restorations designed to blend in with your natural teeth.
Slightly larger than a filling, inlays and onlays are an excellent method of preserving natural teeth weakened by decay.
An inlay is cemented within the four cusps of a molar or back tooth, whilst an onlay is fitted to overlap the cusps of a tooth. These restorations are made from metal, ceramic or porcelain. The latter two materials are often the most popular as they are designed to look natural and are tooth-coloured.
These restorations are made specifically for your affected tooth by our laboratory. Advantages include:
- Allow your dentist to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible
- Minimal preparation required to the natural tooth
- Reduce sensitivity or discomfort associated with tooth decay
- Excellent way to protect teeth that have been worn down due to clenching or grinding
- Can be used to replace old amalgam fillings
