Inlays and Onlays in Lahore & Islamabad
Inlays and Onlays are used to repair a tiny portion of tooth structure lost to decay rather than fillings. Inlays were only made of gold and were inserted within the teeth like fillings.
Dental Inlays
Inlays can now be created of tooth-colored materials like ceramic/porcelain or specialized dental composite and are still used in the same scenarios. Inlays that match the color of the tooth can be bonded to the tooth to replace damaged or ugly “fillings.” In fact, the bonding procedure may strengthen the tooth and help glue the inlay to the tooth.
Onlays for teeth
Onlays are likewise inserted into the tooth, but they extend onto a rear tooth’s chewing surface to replace one or more cusps. Onlays were once only made of gold, but like inlays, more and more patients are asking for onlays that are tooth-colored. By using ceramic or porcelain for the onlay, the restoration can be adhered to the tooth. In fact, by gluing the onlay to the tooth and strengthening the tooth, the onlay may become stronger.
