Inlay and onlay restorations Wrocław
Inlays and onlays are solutions used for medium to large dental defects when a standard filling does not provide sufficient durability and a crown would be too invasive. Thanks to their precision and abrasion resistance, these types of inlays perfectly restore the chewing surface of the tooth, restoring its function and aesthetics. At Dentaxo, we make inlays, onlays and overlays from the highest quality materials – ceramic, composite or gold. These restorations are individually designed in the prosthetic laboratory, which allows them to perfectly match their shape to the patient’s bite. They are an excellent alternative to classic fillings in the case of extensive cavities.
What is the difference between inlay, onlay and overlay restorations?
Although all three types of restoration aim to restore the tooth, they differ in the extent to which they cover the tooth surface. An inlay is placed inside the crown of a tooth – it does not cover the cusps. Onlays cover at least one dental cusp, while overlays cover the entire chewing surface, sometimes even the side walls of the tooth.
These types of restorations are made using an indirect technique – first the cavity is prepared and an impression taken, and then the precise inlays are made by a technician. The finished inlay or onlay is cemented in the mouth during the second visit.
When is it appropriate to use inlays and onlays?
Inlay, onlay restorations work well in cases where the damage to the tooth is too great for a conventional filling, but still too small for a prosthetic crown to be necessary.
Indications for inlay/onlay/overlay include:
- extensive cavities in lateral teeth,
- restoring a tooth after canal treatment,
- the need to restore the correct occlusal anatomy,
- excessive tooth abrasion,
- strengthening weakened teeth while preserving their tissues.
These types of inserts achieve much better airtightness and durability than classic fillings.
What does inlay/onlay treatment look like?
During the first visit, the dentist removes the damaged tooth tissue and takes an impression or digital scan. On this basis, an individual inlay is created in the prosthetic laboratory. At this time, the tooth is secured with a temporary material.
At the next appointment, the finished inlay, onlay or overlay is tried on and permanently seated in the cavity. Thanks to the perfect fit, the patient can quickly return to everyday life – without pain, looseness or discomfort when eating. The material used for the inlay is distinguished by its abrasion resistance, which translates into its durability and longevity.
