At The Orchid Dental Clinic, we offer Inlays and Onlays as part of our advanced dental restoration services. These are ideal solutions for teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma, but not to the extent that a crown is required. Inlays and Onlays are custom-made and bonded to the damaged area of the tooth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and Onlays are types of dental restorations that are used to repair damaged teeth. An inlay is placed within the cusps (the raised points) of the tooth, while an onlay covers one or more of the cusps. These restorations are typically made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold, and are bonded to the tooth for a natural look and feel.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays offer several advantages over traditional fillings:

• Durability: They are more durable and longer-lasting than regular fillings, making them ideal for molars and teeth that endure heavy chewing.
• Precision Fit: Custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly, they provide a secure and seamless restoration.
• Aesthetic Appeal: When made from porcelain or composite resin, they blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth.
• Preservation of Tooth Structure: They help preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to crowns.

The Inlay and Onlay Procedure

Our procedure typically involves two visits:

1. First Visit: The damaged or decayed part of the tooth is removed, and an impression is made of the tooth. This impression is sent to a dental lab where the inlay or onlay is custom-made.

2. Second Visit: The inlay or onlay is bonded to your tooth with strong dental adhesives. The restoration is then polished to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit.
