Inlay & Onlay Fillings

What is Inlay & Onlay Filling?

Inlay and onlay fillings are specialized restorative treatments used to treat decayed or damaged teeth while preserving their natural structure. Unlike traditional fillings, these restorations are custom-made in a laboratory to perfectly fit the tooth, offering both aesthetic and durable results. They are typically preferred when a larger portion of the tooth requires restoration.

Inlay Filling: Used to cover damage on the chewing surface of the tooth.
Onlay Filling: Covers larger areas and can restore one or more chewing cusps of the tooth.

Who is it Suitable For?

  • Medium or large cavities

  • Damaged teeth

  • Cracked or broken teeth

  • Patients seeking both aesthetics and durability

Inlay & Onlay Filling Treatment Process

  • Examination and Assessment: Your dentist evaluates your tooth to determine suitability for an inlay or onlay.
  • Tooth Preparation: Decayed or damaged tissue is removed, and the tooth is shaped for restoration.
  • Impression Taking: Impressions are taken to create a custom-fit filling.
  • Temporary Filling: A temporary filling is placed until the permanent restoration is ready.
  • Placement of Permanent Filling: The laboratory-made inlay or onlay is bonded to your tooth using a special adhesive.

Advantages of Inlay & Onlay Filling

  • Natural Appearance: Made in the color of your teeth for a seamless look.
