Onlays & Inlays

Durable solution to restore damaged teeth.

Cracked, chipped, or worn teeth can not only affect your smile's aesthetics but also compromise chewing function. Onlays and inlays offer a conservative and durable solution to restore damaged teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

They might be suitable for you if you have cracked or chipped teeth, large cavities that cannot be filled with a traditional filling, worn-down teeth due to bruxism (teeth grinding), or teeth weakened by decay or previous large fillings.

Benefits of Onlays and Inlays

We use high-quality materials to ensure the success and longevity of the restoration.

Onlays and inlays require less removal of healthy tooth structure, promoting long-term tooth health.

These custom-made restorations are strong and can withstand normal chewing forces.

Onlays and inlays are color-matched to your surrounding teeth for a natural-looking smile.

They restore the tooth's shape and structure, allowing for optimal chewing function.

Onlays & Inlays FAQs

First appointment: Your dentist will examine the tooth, take X-rays, prepare the tooth, and take an impression for the custom restoration. A temporary restoration will be placed until your permanent inlay or onlay is ready.

Second appointment: The dentist will remove the temporary restoration and carefully place the custom-made inlay or onlay, ensuring a proper fit and bite. They will then cement the restoration into place and polish it.
With proper upkeep, your inlays and onlays can last for many years. Brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing once a day, and maintaining regular dental checkups and cleanings are crucial for their long-term success.
Depending on the extent of the damage, alternative treatments might include traditional fillings or dental crowns. Consult to one of our dentists in Pune to determine the best option for your specific needs.

Onlays and inlays are custom-made restorations created from strong, tooth-colored materials like porcelain or composite resin. They differ in the extent of tooth coverage:

These cover one or more cusps and extend onto the sides of the tooth, providing more coverage for more extensive damage.

Onlays

These fit within the cusps (raised bumps) of the tooth and addressing damage to the inner portion of the chewing surface.
