Inlays and onlays are pre-fabricated restorations we can use to repair larger cavities. An inlay can fill a deep cavity in the centre of a tooth, whereas an onlay may be more appropriate when the damage extends across the corners or “cusps” of the tooth.
Whichever method your dentist recommends, the process is very similar. They will begin by administering a local anaesthetic and removing any decayed material with a small drill. Once the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, the dentist will take an impression of it, with which your inlay or onlay will be manufactured.
Inlays and onlays are available in metal or ceramic varieties. A metal inlay or onlay will need to be produced at a specialist laboratory, but we can create a ceramic restoration on-site using digital scans and milling technology from CEREC®.
Either way, once your inlay or onlay is ready, your dentist will place it into the cavity and check it for a proper fit before bonding it to the remaining tooth structure with a special dental adhesive.
