Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations that repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. They are crafted by a professional laboratory technician from durable materials such as porcelain or gold and are precisely fitted onto the tooth surface to restore its function and appearance.

Unlike traditional fillings directly placed into the prepared cavity, inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental laboratory and bonded onto the tooth surface.

This conservative approach preserves more natural tooth structure while providing a precise fit and excellent strength.

Inlays and onlays offer several advantages, including durability, aesthetics, and minimal tooth preparation. They provide long-lasting results, blend seamlessly with natural teeth, and require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional crowns.

At our practice, Dr Leda begins by conducting a comprehensive examination to assess the tooth’s condition.

Using advanced technology and precise digital scanning of the teeth, the dental laboratory customises the inlay or onlay to fit perfectly onto the tooth surface. The restoration is then securely bonded into place, restoring both function and beauty to the smile.
