Inlays and Onlays

What are Inlays and Onlays?

Dental inlays are used to restore the inside of the tooth and are made of a strong, natural-looking material, such as porcelain or tooth coloured composite resin.

Onlays are made of the same materials, but are used for larger restorations, extending over one or more sides of the tooth, and can be used similar to a crown or cap. They are used in instances when there is deficient tooth structure to support a filling but the tooth is still in a condition that does not require a crown. They are made in the laboratory by dental technicians, similar to veneers and crowns.

Am I suitable to have an inlay or an onlay?

Restore your teeth to their full strength

Inlays and onlays increase tooth strength and provide enduring protection for the tooth, holding it together whilst retaining a natural, aesthetically pleasing colour.

Unlike metal fillings, an onlay can often be used to repair only the damaged portion of the tooth, leaving much more of the original tooth structure intact. Speak to your dentist to see if you are suitable to have an inlay or onlay, as opposed to having a crown

What is involved with having an inlay or onlay?

a Visit 1

Visit 1: At the first visit, your dental team will prepare the tooth. An impressions will then be taken and given to a dental technician, along with information about the shade to use and any other information they need.

A temporary filling will be made so that you can use the tooth while you wait for the inlay or onlay to be made. This inlay or onlay may be more noticeable but is only temporary.

a Visit 2

Visit 2: At the second visit, your dentist will fit the permanent inlay or onlay. There will usually be about 1 to 2 weeks between appointments.
