Inlays & onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used when a tooth needs more reinforcement than a filling can reliably provide, but still has enough healthy structure to avoid a full crown. They fit precisely into or over the affected area, restoring strength while preserving natural tooth tissue.
These restorations are designed using detailed digital scans, allowing us to create a piece that blends seamlessly and supports comfortable chewing. They offer excellent durability and are often recommended when we want to balance strength with a conservative approach.
What to expect
- The tooth is prepared gently
- A digital scan is taken to design your inlay or onlay
- A temporary piece protects the area during fabrication
- At your second visit, the final restoration is bonded securely and adjusted so your bite feels natural
Why they’re beneficial
Inlays and onlays help:
- Reinforce weakened tooth structure
- Protect remaining healthy enamel
- Offer long-term stability without the need for a full-coverage crown
