Inlays and Onlays: A Durable and Natural-Looking Solution

If you have damaged or decayed teeth, particularly in the back of your mouth, dental inlays and onlays can be a great solution. These restorative treatments not only last a long time but are also designed to blend naturally with your teeth while offering enhanced strength and durability.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Teeth inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with large decay or damaged fillings, particularly when part of the tooth remains intact. They are a preferred option over traditional fillings or crowns in certain cases because they help preserve more of your natural tooth structure while offering a reliable and long-lasting solution.

When Are Inlays and Onlays the Best Option?

• Inlays are used when the decay or damage is confined to the centre of the tooth (between the cusps).
• Onlays are recommended when the damage extends beyond the centre and affects one or more of the tooth’s cusps but still allows the remaining tooth structure to remain strong.

Unlike traditional fillings, which may not provide enough support for large damaged areas, and crowns, which require removing more of the natural tooth, ceramic inlays and onlays and composite inlays and onlays offer a middle-ground solution. They strengthen the tooth while preserving as much of the healthy tooth tissue as possible.

Why Not a Filling or a Crown?

• Traditional fillings are often less durable for larger repairs and may not provide the necessary strength for long-term tooth protection.
• Crowns require more of the natural tooth to be removed, even in cases where the damage is not extensive.

Inlays and onlays provide a more conservative treatment that reinforces the tooth without unnecessary removal of healthy structure.
