Durability and Strength
Inlays and onlays are made from strong materials that withstand normal biting and chewing forces, lasting longer than traditional fillings.
At Pearl Dental, we offer high-quality inlays and onlays as a durable, aesthetic solution for restoring damaged teeth. When a tooth has too much damage for a filling but doesn’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays provide the perfect middle ground. Custom-made to fit your tooth precisely, they restore strength, protect against future decay, and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold that repair specific areas of a damaged tooth. They are often called “indirect fillings” because they are fabricated in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth. Inlays and onlays are an ideal choice for treating decay or damage that lies within the cusps (points) of the tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure than a crown.

Matched to your tooth’s natural colour, inlays and onlays provide a seamless, beautiful look.
These restorations require less removal of your natural tooth structure compared to crowns.
They seal the damaged area effectively, preventing further decay and strengthening the tooth.
We start with a thorough exam to determine if an inlay or onlay is the right solution for you.
The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed, and an impression is taken to ensure a perfect fit.
A temporary restoration is placed to protect your tooth while your inlay or onlay is custom-made.
At your next appointment, we securely bond the inlay or onlay to your tooth, making any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit.
With proper care, inlays and onlays can last for many years.
Maintain regular brushing and flossing habits to prevent decay around the restoration.
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice to protect the restoration.
Schedule regular check-ups so we can monitor the health of your inlay or onlay.
