Benefits

Why Inlays & Onlays?

Although white fillings can also be used to restore cavities, they are better suited to smaller restorations. Inlays/onlays are better suited to cases that require precision filling. As dental laboratory-made fillings, they are less prone to wear and shrinkage than large white fillings due to their design accuracy.

What does this mean for you? Less likelihood of failure, meaning visits to the dentist. Reducing the need for replacement fillings may also mean reduced costs in the long-term.

The Difference Between and Inlay and Onlay

Inlays and onlays serve the same purpose, however an inlay sits inside the tooth cavity – between the cusps. Onlays are bonded to the biting surface of the tooth and usually have one or more cusps.

FAQs

A few things we thought you’d like to know…

What exactly is an inlay or onlay?

Inlays and Onlays are custom-made fillings created by experienced dental technicians in a specialised dental laboratory. When the natural tooth structure can no longer support a typical filling, inlays and onlays are used to restore the tooth in a more conservative manner.

What is the difference between an inlay and an only?

Inlays and onlays serve the same purpose, however an inlay sits inside the tooth cavity – between the cusps. Onlays are bonded to the biting surface of the tooth and usually have one or more cusps.

Are tooth-coloured inlays and onlays used?

The majority of inlays/onlays are constructed of composite resin or porcelain and may be customised to match the colour of your natural teeth. When greater durability is required, gold or zirconium may be used. Your dental team will speak with you regarding the materials and colours that will be used to make your restoration.

What Are the Differences Between Inlays and Onlays and White Fillings?

Although white fillings can be applied to fill cavities, they are best suited for minor restorations. Inlays and onlays are more suited to instances requiring precise filling. Because of the precision with which they are designed, they are less prone to wear and shrinking than massive white fillings.
