Inlays and Onlays
A dental inlay is a porcelain or composite pre-moulded filling fitted into the grooves of your tooth. It is mostly used as restoration for cavities that are centred in your tooth instead of along the outer edges or “cusps”. These cavities have usually not progressed into more extensive tooth decay. The procedure begins by removing the decayed tooth structure or old filling. An impression of the cavity is then taken to create a custom-fit inlay or onlay. An inlay is designed to treat cavities located in the grooves of the tooth. An onlay, however, covers the higher points and edges of the tooth for added strength and protection.
Inlays and onlays have also been used to replace traditional silver amalgam fillings. An added benefit of these restorations is that little preparation is required to the natural tooth – meaning more of the enamel is preserved than with some other treatments!
