Inlays and Onlays: Long-Lasting Solutions for Cavities
​
If you have a cavity that needs filling, inlays and onlays are two excellent restoration options your dentist may recommend.
-
Inlays are smaller fillings designed to fit perfectly within the biting surface of your tooth, ideal for smaller cavities.
-
Onlays, on the other hand, cover a larger portion of the tooth and are better suited for bigger cavities that require more coverage and strength.
​
For many years, gold was the go-to material for inlays and onlays due to its durability. However, modern advancements have made tooth-coloured porcelain a popular choice, offering both strength and a natural look that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
​
How Are Inlays and Onlays Made? Inlays and onlays are custom-made in a dental laboratory using impressions of your teeth. While your permanent restoration is being created, your dentist will place a temporary filling. Once your inlay or onlay is ready, it will be bonded to your tooth with a special adhesive, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
