Inlay and Onlay
Strong and aesthetic restorations for damaged teeth.
Inlay and Onlay
Inlay and Onlay are dental restorations used to restore the function and appearance of teeth damaged by caries or fractures. They are produced in laboratory and are stronger and more durable than traditional fillings.
Difference between Inlay and Onlay
- Inlay – covers only the surface inside the tooth, without including cusps (tooth peaks).
- Onlay – covers one or more cusps of the tooth, restoring larger tooth structure.
When are they recommended?
- Teeth with moderate to advanced caries
- Broken or damaged teeth
- When traditional fillings do not provide enough strength and durability
- Aesthetic and functional improvement
Benefits of Inlay/Onlay
- Strong and durable materials
- Natural and aesthetic appearance of tooth
- Minimal restoration of healthy tooth structure
- Long-term and functional results
Placement process
- Tooth cleaning – removal of damaged part or caries
- Taking impressions – to produce Inlay/Onlay according to tooth shape
- Trial and fit check – to ensure fit and aesthetics
- Final bonding – fixation with adhesive material for stable results
