Inlays & Onlays

Inlays & Onlays

When a tooth has suffered from the damage of decay it’s important that it is treated as soon as is possible. With early treatment comes the potential for being able to preserve much of the natural tooth.

Delaying treatment for tooth damage and decay can lead to the need for root canal treatment. It can also potentially lead to the total loss of the tooth.

Keep in mind that routine checkups with your dentist, along with those annual appointments to clean your teeth, will be able to identify any cavities and other damage in its early stages. Prevention truly is better than a cure when it comes to oral health care.

What are inlays and onlays?

Get results you love

There are occasions where the decay or damage to a tooth may be too extensive to be treated with a simple filling, but not quite extensive enough to need the full-coverage of a crown. In these types of situations, the best option for tooth restoration may be to consider dental inlays or onlays.

Inlays and onlays are larger fillings that are made in the laboratory using tooth-coloured porcelain instead of composite material. An inlay replaces the central chewing surface of a back tooth, but an onlay will replace a larger area which includes the central chewing area plus one or more of the cusps.

What are inlays and onlays used to treat?

Dental inlays and dental onlays are used as a restoration solution for teeth that have mild to moderate damage or decay. Simple cavities can be filled using composite material, and they are typically done in one visit to the clinic.

Getting porcelain inlays and onlays is a two-stage process that involves waiting for the porcelain restorative piece to be milled.

What options are there?

Typically there are just a few options for a tooth that has sustained decay and damage.

  • When a filling is not enough to resolve the damage, a full-coverage crown may be used. This is not always the ideal solution as there is a steep cost difference when you compare onlays vs crowns.
  • Remember that if the decay and damage are not treated in a timely manner, you may be facing the need for root canal treatment or the complete loss of the tooth once the decay has progressed too far.
What is the procedure for getting inlays and onlays?
dental-inlays-dublin There are two stages to the process of getting inlays and onlays, which differs from a routine filling. The damaged tooth and the surrounding gum will be numbed so that patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. A mould will be taken from an impression of your damaged tooth. This will then be used as a guide for a cast. The cast is used to produce the inlays or onlays. The second stage will involve the fitting of the inlay or onlay. Your dentist will check the fitting before securing the porcelain inlay or onlay in place with a bonding material. Your dentist will make any minor adjustments and polish the tooth so that it looks completely natural.

  • Both myself and my husband have been Dr Erika's patients for over a decade. Crown dental is the cleanest, most equipped dental practice I have ever been to. Both dentists and the nurses are highly qualified and are brilliant with nervous patients. My husband had a dental implant done here with A+ results. Their prices are highly competitive but without compromising on quality. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

    I have been attending Crown Dental for over a year for general dentistry care, and most recently, the fitting of a Post and Core and Crown, under the excellent professional care of Dr. Erika Barta, Principal Dentist. Dr Erika is very thorough, meticulous and experienced, and explains each stage of the treatment at each visit, having first carried out a detailed examination (including X-Ray, where necessary), and explaining the treatment required. Her primary focus is on conservation and restoring the health and functioning of the teeth at minimum cost, and she does not suggest unnecessary additional treatment. She uses high quality and health-compatible dental materials and components in the treatment of her patients. The clinic is equipped with sophisticated and high-tech equipment. The clinic is bright and very hygienic, with extra Covid measures being adopted to provide maximum protection to patients and staff. Dr Erika's fees are very competitive. I highly recommend Dr Erika for her high quality, professional and caring treatment of her patients, where the patient feels reassured and completely at ease.

  • Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.
