All about metal free inlay and onlay dental restoration

Inlays and onlays are done when decay has reached a size such that normal fillings are not possible.

An inlay is a filling which replaces a missing part of a tooth. An onlay is a type of filling which replaces a much larger area, or even the whole surface of a tooth. They help restore the tooth to its original condition as well as improving chewing and aesthetic appearance. 

When inlays/onlays are made, first an impression is taken of the tooth, after which a dental technician prepares the inlay or onlay so that it fits precisely in place.  Then the inlay/onlay is attached to the tooth with bonding material, and the tooth is back to its original condition.

What are the advantages of inlay or onlay tooth restorations?

With these kinds of inserts, it is possible to achieve a more exact and aesthetic result, so they last longer.

Teeth can be saved!

This type of replacement means neither extraction nor a complete tooth replacement is necessary.

An aesthetic solution

The insert colour is just like the tooth’s own color, and the perfect match is even visible to the naked eye.

Completely unnoticeable

Precise fitting means comfort in wearing.

Long-lasting and durable

Thanks to modern material you can chew normally again.

Flawless shape

An insert does a much better job of replicating the tooth’s original anatomy.

No allergic reaction

Inserts do not cause any kind of allergic reaction at all.

6. Inlay bonding

The tooth is restored with the insert we prepared for it.

Frequently asked questions about inlay and onlay restorations

Yes. Inserts can be used for replacing teeth as well. In that case, inserts on the teeth surrounding the artificial tooth hold it firmly in place. These are called inlay supported fixed partial dentures. Thanks to modern technology, there are numerous ways to solve individual problems.

Preparation of the inlay in a laboratory takes 4-5 working days.

Since shrinkage is less than a regular filling, an inlay lasts much longer.  It may last 8-10 years, or even longer, and still be in excellent condition.

Yes. Replacing fillings is most certainly recommended.  An inlay does not precipitate allergic reactions, causes no headaches, and it lasts much longer than an amalgam filling.

We recommend it in the following cases:

  • If there is a large area of decay, or the broken off part of the tooth is large.
  • If the size or shape of the cavity will not allow a long term solution.
  • If an aesthetically pleasing correction is necessary; the surface of the tooth is discolored.

Gradia (composite), porcelain, or gold are the materials used for inserts. Although gold is rarely requested, it offers the best seal around the edges and sides of the tooth.

Yes. It can act as a seal and cover over a root canaled tooth, thus preserving the integrity of the remaining tooth material.

Yes. Both our treatments and the materials we use are 100% guaranteed! The guarantee is valid if the following conditions are met:

  • The patient follows the recommended oral hygiene measures.
  • Checkup once every year; patients with periodontitis must have checkups at intervals determined by the doctor.
  • Use of inlay/onlay in the proper way.
