Dental fillings
A stable, safe, and long-term solution for tooth replacement, with a treatment plan tailored to your smile.
Ceramic fillings (Inlay, Onlay, Overlay)
Custom-made restorations for extensive tooth damage, when a standard filling is no longer stable enough and a full crown is not necessarily required.
CANDIDATES
When is a ceramic inlay recommended?
Inlays, onlays, and overlays fall between a traditional filling and a full dental crown, depending on the extent of the tooth they restore.
They can be considered if:
They can be considered if:
-
You have a large existing filling.
-
part of the tooth is chipped or weakened
-
The traditional filling no longer provides sufficient stability
-
It is necessary to protect one or more cusps of the tooth
-
you want to preserve the healthy part of the tooth that does not need to be covered with a crown
-
The tooth, following previous therapy, requires a more solid final restoration
What are Inlay, Onlay, and Overlay?
Ceramic fillings are individually produced according to the shape of the prepared tooth, and are then permanently bonded to its surface.
Inlay restores the part of the tooth within its cusps.
Onlay it encompasses the inner part of the tooth and one or more cusps.
Overlay covers most of the chewing surface when the tooth needs additional protection.
Which form is appropriate depends on how much natural tooth structure is preserved.

Ceramic inlay or crown?
A dental crown covers the entire visible part of the tooth, while an inlay, onlay, and overlay replace only the area that needs to be restored.
If there is a sufficiently healthy and stable structure, a partial ceramic restoration can allow for the preservation of a larger portion of the natural tooth.
In case of more extensive damage, very thin walls, or other unfavorable factors, a crown may be a safer solution.

They differ according to the tooth surface they restore. An inlay stays within the cusps, an onlay covers one or more cusps, while an overlay covers a larger part of the chewing surface.
Most often when the damage is too large for a classic filling, but there is enough healthy tissue that it is not necessary to completely cover the tooth with a crown.
No. An onlay covers only the part of the tooth that needs additional protection, whereas a crown covers the entire visible part of the tooth.
Tooth preparation is performed under local anesthesia as needed. Transient sensitivity may occur after the procedure.
Therapy may include one or more visits, depending on the method of restoration fabrication and the condition of the teeth.
Durability depends on the condition of the teeth, the size of the restoration, the bite, oral hygiene, and the patient's habits.
In certain cases, it can. The final restoration of an endodontically treated tooth is determined by the amount and stability of the remaining tissue.
In the case of very large damage, a composite filling may not provide sufficient support to the weakened parts of the tooth. The most appropriate solution is assessed individually.
