Inlays and Onlays Sherwood Park
A Conservative, Long-Lasting Solution for Damaged Teeth—Without a Full Crown
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn’t need a full dental crown, inlays and onlays offer the ideal middle ground.
Inlays fit inside the cusps of a tooth (the pointed edges), while onlays extend to cover one or more of the cusps. Both are custom-made restorations that restore strength, function, and appearance using durable, tooth-coloured materials like porcelain or composite resin.
Who Benefits from Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are commonly recommended for patients with:
- Moderate decay that’s too large for a filling
- Cracked or fractured teeth without root involvement
- Worn or broken fillings that need replacement
- Desire for a conservative alternative to a full crown
- Aesthetic concerns—wanting a natural look without silver amalgam
Why Choose Inlays or Onlays Over Fillings or Crowns?
1. Conserves Healthy Tooth Structure
2. Longer-Lasting Than Fillings
3. Superior Fit and Strength
4. Natural Appearance
Made from tooth-coloured porcelain or composite, they blend seamlessly with your smile without the metallic look of older materials.
What to Expect: Inlays & Onlays at Granada Dental
We provide a smooth, stress-free experience—from consultation to final placement.
Step 1: Assessment and Preparation
We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays to evaluate the extent of tooth damage. If an inlay or onlay is the right choice, we’ll prepare the area by removing any decay or damage.
Step 2: Digital Impression
We take a precise impression of your tooth, which is used to create your custom restoration at a dental lab.
Step 3: Temporary Restoration
A temporary filling is placed to protect your tooth while your inlay or onlay is being made.
Step 4: Final Placement
At your follow-up visit, we remove the temporary and bond your new inlay or onlay into place. We make final adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and proper bite alignment.
Most patients find the procedure comfortable and straightforward, and they’re able to return to normal eating shortly after.
