Inlay/onlay

What problem does Inlay/onlay solve?

Dental inlays and onlays or overlays are designed to repair larger cavities or root canal treated teeth; they are made by dental technicians to fit exactly into the cavity. Our professional cosmetic dentists bond them to provide you with aesthetic and functional result.

What are dental onlays and inlays?

Dental onlays and inlays – also known as inlay fillings and onlay fillings – are basically tooth fillings, but they are made by dental technicians. They offer aesthetic, almost nonvisible solution in cases where the tooth needs to be rebuilt due to a large loss of tooth material.

Our professional team of cosmetic dentists in our Budapest based dental clinic will make sure to create the most suitable, functional dental onlays or inlays for you.

Process of the cosmetic dental treatment

The first step of the process is the same as with regular fillings: the dentist removes the decayed bits of the tooth with a hand device, and shapes the cavity so it can best accept the inlay or onlay. After this an imprint of the affected tooth and the nearby teeth is taken, and is them promptly sent to our dental laboratory. Our technicians will prepare an exact replica of the missing portion of the tooth in a few days, and will then send it back to us to use.

4. Pacing the inlay/onlay

What is the difference between dental onlays and inlays?

Inlays and onlays are made of the same materials, the difference in the position where they’re put on the tooth surface. While the inlay covers a missing piece of the tooth, the onlay covers the entire surface, or most of it, restoring normal chewing function.

Both of them requires an expert cosmetic dentist and dental technician. Trust our professional team to make your smile perfect again!
