Dental inlays and onlays target the back teeth, providing extra support and strength to molars which have been damaged by decay or trauma.

​Inlays and onlays can also be used to replace old silver fillings. They are often chosen as the favoured treatment option when a tooth requires extra support but is not damaged enough for a crown as, unlike crowns, natural teeth do not require extensive preparation prior to the placement of an inlay or onlay.

​At St Mawes Dental, our team will advise you on why you may benefit from this treatment and why it is needed.

​A dental inlay is fitted within the cusps (corners) of a natural tooth, while a dental onlay is bonded over a tooth’s cusps. The latter provides extra support and strength and is used when a tooth is more damaged.

​If you require an inlay or onlay, this will be made specifically for you in our laboratory. You have the option of resin, gold or porcelain restorations.
