Onlay Inlay
Faced with the gradual deterioration of dental structure caused by cavities or fractures, dental inlays and onlays are innovative solutions.
Not only do they restore the integrity of the tooth, but they also reinforce its structure while providing an aesthetic finish that seamlessly blends with the rest of your teeth, ensuring both a beautiful and functional solution for your smile.

Onlay Inlay: Key Steps in the Making
This custom-made prosthesis is fabricated in a dental laboratory, making it an indirect restoration technique in two phases:
During the first appointment, the dentist treats the affected tooth, removes infected tissues, and cleans the area. Then, a 3D optical impression of the affected tooth is taken, which will be used for the fabrication of a dental onlay inlay by the laboratory.
In a subsequent visit, the dentist inserts the prosthesis into the prepared cavity, checks its perfect fit, and securely fixes it to the tooth.

The Benefits of Inlay-Onlay
To restore a severely damaged tooth due to cavities, dental inlay-onlay offers several advantages:
It provides an aesthetic result as these dental substitutes are custom-made, replicating the tooth’s anatomy, texture, and shade. It strengthens and provides long-lasting protection to the tooth. It is perfectly sealed, reducing the risk of recurring cavities. It allows for the preservation of the maximum natural tooth structure.

It’s not necessarily a matter of “better” or “worse.” Onlays are often preferred for moderate restorations as they preserve more of the natural tooth structure. Crowns are more suitable when the tooth is heavily damaged.
