What are inlays and onlays?
Inlays and onlays are highly durable, long-lasting restorations that are applied to cavities that would be otherwise difficult to repair through conventional means. These are designed to fit perfectly within the tooth to help prevent further damage.
They are made from highest-grade porcelain and a mix of composite resins that are hand-crafted to ensure a natural look. These are taken by impressions to create a unique design that works for your unique case, ensuring that it will remain in place through a strong dental-grade adhesive.
The inlay procedure requires approximately two visits to the clinic. During the first appointment, any decay is removed, impressions are taken, and the temporary inlay is applied to the tooth. At the second appointment, the permanent inlay is bonded to the tooth, hiding any signs of imperfection.
Inlays and onlays may be used for cosmetic enhancement, to restore broken or decayed teeth, or to replace a damaged filling.
