Inlays and onlays
Sometimes we may offer you an inlay or onlay instead of a filling.
An inlay sits inside a cavity in your tooth, while an onlay is a more substantial restoration, sitting on top of a tooth and providing shape.
These have several benefits over fillings – they are very strong, and can often look more realistic. They are particularly suitable for large repairs and the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
Onlays are specially made to fit your teeth, and are bonded to your teeth with special high strength resins.
At Redcliffe Dental Practice, we use our state-of-the-art CEREC machine to create your inlay or onlay during your visit. This is quicker and more convenient as you do not have to wait for your restoration to be made by a dental laboratory, and return to have it fitted. It also provides you with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
