Precision Restorations for a Healthy Smile
Inlays and onlays are conservative dental restorations that repair and strengthen damaged teeth while retaining as much natural tooth structure as possible. North Hill Dental in Richmond Hill, Ontario, offers custom-made inlays and onlays created from premium materials to restore teeth’ appearance and functionality. These restorations are perfect for teeth that don’t require a complete crown but need more support than a filling.
Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations that adhere to teeth to treat decay or trauma. They are made in a dental lab using materials like porcelain, composite resin, or gold to guarantee a precise fit and natural appearance.
Inlays and onlays are both aesthetically beautiful and useful since they are specially made to fit the size, shape, and colour of your natural teeth.
These restorations are a more conservative course of therapy because they involve less destruction of healthy tooth structure than crowns.
High-quality materials provide inlays and onlays with exceptional durability, preventing wear. With the right maintenance, they last for many years.
When combined with natural teeth, porcelain and composite materials restore both appearance and functionality.
Inlays and onlays reinforce the tooth's structure by firmly adhering to it, lowering the chance of future damage or fractures.
Here are key criteria for patients who may benefit from inlays and onlays:
Getting an inlay or onlay typically involves two visits:
We remove the decay or damage and prepare the tooth for restoration. Then, we take an impression of the tooth and send it to a dental lab to craft your custom inlay or onlay. To protect the tooth, we place a temporary filling until the permanent restoration is ready.
Once the inlay or onlay is ready, we check its fit, color, and alignment to ensure it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
The restoration is bonded to the tooth using a strong adhesive, and we polish the surface for a smooth, natural finish.
