What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage. They fit precisely into the grooves or cover chewing surfaces, preserving healthy enamel while restoring strength.
The treatment begins with a dental assessment and tooth preparation. An impression or digital scan is taken to create a perfectly fitted restoration. At a follow-up appointment, the inlay or onlay is bonded securely. This restores chewing ability, protects the tooth from further damage, and ensures a natural, long-lasting appearance that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.

Are You an Eligible Candidate?

You might be suitable for inlays and onlays in Congleton, Cheshire if any of the following apply:
  • Moderate tooth decay: Teeth with decay too extensive for a simple filling but not requiring a full crown benefit from inlays or onlays.
  • Cracked or fractured teeth: Patients with damaged teeth that are still structurally strong can restore integrity with custom restorations.
  • Replacing large fillings: Teeth with worn or failing fillings may require inlays or onlays for better durability and aesthetics.
  • Desire conservative treatment: Suitable for patients seeking to preserve natural enamel while strengthening and protecting damaged teeth effectively.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

There are several advantages of inlays and onlays:

Preserves natural tooth

They restore strength while conserving as much healthy enamel as possible, unlike full crowns that require more removal.

Durable and long-lasting

Made from high-quality materials, they withstand chewing forces and last longer than conventional fillings with proper care.

Natural appearance

Tooth-coloured materials ensure restorations blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth for a discreet, aesthetic smile improvement.

Strengthens damaged teeth

Inlays and onlays support weakened teeth, helping prevent further cracks, fractures, or damage while restoring chewing function effectively.

Custom-fitted solution

Each restoration is precisely designed for the individual tooth, ensuring an exact fit, optimal comfort, and reliable long-term performance.

Minimally invasive

Treatment conserves natural tooth structure by requiring minimal removal, maintaining strength and supporting long-term oral health and durability.

Inlays and onlays are ideal for teeth with moderate decay or structural damage. Severely broken teeth may require crowns instead. A dentist will assess each tooth to determine the most suitable restorative option.
