Inlays & Onlays
At Sublime Smiles, we offer advanced restorative solutions with our Inlays and Onlays services. These durable and aesthetically pleasing treatments are ideal for repairing teeth that have moderate to severe damage or decay. Our inlays and onlays are designed to restore the function and appearance of your teeth, providing long-lasting results with a natural look.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. They are a step between a filling and a crown, offering a more durable and aesthetically pleasing solution than traditional fillings.
  • Inlays: An inlay is used to repair damage or decay located within the cusps of the tooth. It is placed inside the tooth structure to restore its shape and strength, making it ideal for areas with moderate damage.

  • Onlays: An onlay, sometimes referred to as a partial crown, covers one or more cusps of the tooth. It extends beyond the central part of the tooth and provides additional protection, making it suitable for teeth with more extensive damage.

The Inlay and Onlay Procedure

Consultation

We start with a detailed examination to assess the condition of your tooth and determine if an inlay or on lay is the appropriate treatment. We’ll discuss your options and create a personalized treatment plan.

Preparation

The damaged or decayed area of your tooth is cleaned and prepared. We’ll remove any decay or damage while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Impressions

Accurate impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom inlay or on lay. These impressions ensure a precise fit and optimal function of your restoration.

Temporary Restoration

While your permanent inlay or on lay is being made, a temporary restoration may be placed to protect your tooth.

Placement

Once your custom inlay or on lay is ready, we’ll carefully place it on your tooth, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and optimal function.

Final Adjustments

We make final adjustments to ensure that the restoration aligns properly with your bite and feels comfortable. We’ll provide instructions on how to care for your new restoration.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

Natural Appearance

Both inlays and onlays are crafted from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or composite resin, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Durability

These restorations are highly durable and can withstand the forces of chewing, offering long- lasting protection and functionality.

Preservation of Tooth Structure

Inlays and onlays require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure compared to full crowns, preserving more of your natural tooth.

Enhanced Protection

They provide a strong, protective covering for damaged or decayed teeth, preventing further deterioration and potential issues.
