Inlays & onlays – the conservative tooth restoration

The Smart Choice for Moderate Tooth Damage

If you have a tooth that is moderately decayed, chipped, cracked or fractured, a porcelain inlay or onlay may be all you need to repair and restore your affected tooth.

Inlays & onlays are ideally suited for teeth that are too decayed or damaged to receive a filling treatment, yet still have sufficient healthy tooth structure to avoid the need for a full crown treatment. This means that your dentist removes a minimum of your remaining natural tooth. As part of this conservative approach, your dentist is also limiting the use of more invasive dentistry techniques to solve your tooth’s problems.

The benefits of inlays & onlays:

When a filling isn’t enough and a crown feels like too much, inlays and onlays offer the perfect middle ground. This minimally invasive treatment strengthens and protects your tooth with a custom fit that looks completely natural—so you can restore your smile with confidence, comfort, and long-term durability.

Strong, Long-Lasting Protection

Inlays and onlays are permanently bonded and can last up to 30 years. They strengthen your tooth structure by up to 75%, helping extend the life of your natural tooth.

Minimally Invasive, Precisely Fitted

This conservative treatment preserves healthy tooth structure. Each inlay or onlay is custom-made for a seamless, snug fit that keeps bacteria out and hygiene easy.

Natural Look, Simple Process

Colour-matched to blend flawlessly with your smile, inlays and onlays are completed in just two visits—prep and fitting—providing a natural result with minimal hassle.
