Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom dental restorations used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays fit inside the biting surface, while onlays cover one or more cusps. They’re more durable than fillings and help preserve natural tooth structure.

They are recommended when a tooth has moderate decay, fractures, or large fillings that need replacement. They offer a conservative alternative to full crowns, providing structural reinforcement without excessive tooth reduction.

Common materials include porcelain, composite resin, or gold. Porcelain is popular for its strength and natural appearance, especially for visible teeth. Clinics we work with use high-quality, durable materials approved for long-term dental use.

With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or longer. Their longevity depends on material quality, oral hygiene, bite pressure, and routine dental maintenance.
