  • Less risk of shrinkage or tooth sensitivity

Inlays and Onlays

What does the treatment involve?

At Pearl Dental Clinic, we take pride in offering the latest technology to ensure a comfortable and efficient restoration process. Our commitment to excellence begins with a thorough clinical assessment and X-ray of your tooth. This step allows us to confirm the health of the root and plan the restoration accordingly.

We use the innovative iTero 5D digital scanning system to capture a precise 3D image of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional, often uncomfortable, impressions. You’ll be able to see the crystal-clear scan of your teeth in real-time on a screen, allowing for clear communication throughout the process. This image is then sent straight to the laboratory, so work can start on your custom restoration immediately.

For a secure and long-lasting fit, we use resin cement to bond the final inlay or onlay to your tooth. In order to increase the bond strength between the tooth and the restoration, at Pearl Dental Clinic we use the AquaCare Air Abrasion system. AquaCare uses high pressure aluminium oxide particles to create an additional mechanical bond for the restoration. This significantly reduces the risk of your inlay or onlay debonding in future.

Why choose an inlay or onlay instead of a crown?

Inlays and onlays have been developed as an alternative to dental crowns as they are less invasive and need less tooth shaving. Inlays and onlays can be made from gold, porcelain, zirconium or composite resin material.

Gold restorations are very strong and very rarely fracture. If you are concerned about the appearance of your restoration, you can consider zirconium, porcelain and composite inlays and onlays. These are all tooth coloured and are normally used for areas that may be seen when patients smile or laugh.
