Inlays and onlays with Precision Dental Clinic
When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling, a custom-made inlays or onlay is a great way to restore its strength and function.
Your custom-made inlay or onlay is created in a laboratory from high-quality and durable materials, to ensure a precise fit and a beautiful, long-lasting result that protects and strengthens your natural tooth.
What are inlays and onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations designed to repair and protect teeth that are too damaged for a simple filling but don’t require a full crown. They are created outside the mouth in a dental laboratory and then securely bonded to your tooth for a strong, long-lasting result.
- Inlays fit neatly within the cusps (the raised points) on the chewing surface of a tooth.
- Onlays are slightly larger, extending over one or more cusps to provide extra coverage.
Because they preserve more of your natural tooth structure, inlays and onlays are often considered a more conservative alternative to a full dental crown.
How much do inlays and onlays cost?
The cost of an inlay or onlay will vary depending on the size of the restoration and the material you choose, such as porcelain or gold.
At your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, personalised treatment plan with transparent pricing, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
To make treatment easier to manage, we also offer flexible finance options that allow you to spread the cost into affordable monthly payments.
