Strong, precise Inlays & Onlays
What exactly is a dental onlay/inlay?
Inlays and Onlays are types of indirect restorations used to repair teeth that are not severe enough to require a crown but still need more support than a standard filling. They can be made from an alloy metal or ceramic, both of which are tooth-coloured so as to blend with the natural colour of your teeth.

Frequent Questions
An inlay fits within the biting surface of a tooth, while an onlay covers one or more of its raised cusps. Both are custom-made restorations used to repair damaged or heavily filled teeth.
They may be recommended when a tooth requires more support than a standard filling can provide but does not need to be completely covered by a crown.
They can be made from ceramic, composite resin or metal. Tooth-coloured ceramic is often selected when appearance is particularly important.
Traditionally, treatment requires one appointment to prepare and scan or take an impression of the tooth, followed by another to fit the restoration. The exact process will depend on the technology used by the practice.
