Inlays & Onlays: Stronger, Long-Lasting Tooth Restoration
When a standard filling isn’t enough but a full crown isn’t necessary, inlays and onlays offer a durable and conservative solution to restore your tooth’s strength and function. At Bridge Dental Centre, we use these custom restorations to repair decayed or damaged teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
What Are Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays – Used when damage is within the cusps (raised edges) of the tooth, providing a precise and strong fit.
Onlays – Extend beyond the cusps, covering more surface area for added strength and protection.
Both are custom-made from tooth-coloured porcelain, ceramic, or composite material to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.
Benefits of Inlays & Onlays
- Stronger than traditional fillings – More durable and resistant to wear.
- Preserve more natural tooth – A conservative alternative to crowns.
- Natural-looking restoration – Custom-made for a perfect match.
- Long-lasting – Can last 10+ years with proper care.
The Inlay & Onlay Process
- Assessment & Preparation – The damaged area is carefully cleaned and shaped.
- Custom Restoration – A digital impression is taken, and the inlay/onlay is crafted to fit precisely.
- Bonding & Polishing – Once ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth for a flawless finish.
