Porcelain inlays and onlays

Serving patients throughout Bath and surrounding areas

Inlays and onlays can be used to restore teeth when there is not enough of the original tooth to be treated with a filling. They offer a less invasive, more affordable alternative to a crown. The treatment is a highly effective way to strengthen teeth, restore their natural shape and avoid further deterioration.

How inlays and onlays work

Unlike a filling, inlays and onlays are created in a dental laboratory from an impression taken of the tooth. An inlay fills a cavity within the tooth and an onlay is used when the repair needs to include one or more cusps (the points of the tooth), or fully cover the biting surface. They are made from hard wearing materials, most often porcelain and composite resin.

Treatment is carried out over two visits to the Practice. During the first visit areas of decay or existing fillings are removed and your dentist will thoroughly clean the tooth, take an impression and fit a temporary restoration to protect the area.

A specialist dental technician then custom makes an insert that perfectly matches the shape, size and colour of your tooth. Once complete, the inlay or onlay is checked for fit and comfort, and then bonded permanently in place to complete the damaged tooth. When properly maintained they can last for many years.

The benefits of inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays are an ideal solution as they offer an extensive restoration using minimally invasive techniques while preserving more of the natural tooth. They are more durable than a filling, and because they are created in a laboratory from a precise impression of the tooth they are tailored to fit perfectly. Your tooth will be strong and look entirely natural.

The whole process was satisfactory. I was acknowledged when I turned up, the Hygienist asked how I brushed my teeth, explained the best way to keep them clean. She and her assistant made the treatment comfortable.

Congratulations and well done to Dr Aarifa Hussain for her bravery . I would like to thank Dr Aarifa Hussain for her exceptional care during my tooth extraction. She was confident, professional, and reassuring throughout the procedure.Her courage and expertise helped put me at ease, and I am very grateful for the excellent treatment I received. I visited other dental clinic in London and they were scared to remove my tooth and was referred to a specialist but Dr Aarifa Hussain took the initiative and assured me that she will do it which is a real daring and challenging for Aarifa . Great achievement , inspiration and hats off . I would like to thank Nurse Anne too for her support and care . I was welcomed by the Receptionist , sorry dont know the name and all the staff very friendly and would definitely recommend my friends to visit the lovely Green Park Dental Practice in Bath

The clinicians and other staff are very kind and we’re all extremely helpful and kind when I was going through cancer treatment. The clinicians spent time carefully explaining treatment options and showed me x-rays. The hygienist carefully explained areas to focus on to prevent future problems.
