An inlay or onlay is commonly used when a filling isn’t enough to provide adequate protection. Inlays and onlays are custom-made porcelain inserts that rebuilds the shape of a tooth. An inlay fits within the cusp of the back tooth while an onlay will extend over the cusp. The purpose of both is to strengthen, provide protection, and ensure that the chewing surface of your tooth is restored.

Make an enquiryThe rear teeth experience more pressure from the bite, so it’s important that restorations to these teeth are strong enough. Our dental inlays and onlays are custom-made using impressions and scans to get the perfect fit. These are then bonded to teeth for an effective restoration that provides reinforcement and protection.
This type of restoration is ideal for repairing decay and damage to teeth, or as an aesthetic replacement for a large amalgam filling. Replacing amalgam fillings with inlays and onlays can help to improve the appearance of your teeth and reduce sensitivity.
