Description
This type of restoration allows for a perfect reproduction of the natural shape of the tooth, restoring its chewing function and aesthetics, and at the same time strengthening the entire tooth structure.
Types of restorations:
- Inlay – fills the central part of the tooth (mainly the chewing surface).
- Onlay – rebuilds the chewing surface and tooth cusps.
- Overlay / Endocrown – covers the entire surface of the tooth, including its walls, ideal for very large cavities.
When is an Onlay filling used?
- When the tooth is significantly damaged by caries or after root canal treatment
- If you need to strengthen the tooth while maintaining its natural structure
- When a classic filling could be insufficient or impermanent
- When you care about high aesthetics and precision of tooth shape reproduction
Benefits for the patient:
- Much more durable than classic filling
- Improved fit and tightness – minimizes the risk of caries recurrence
- Abrasion and discoloration resistance
- Aesthetic appearance – the filling perfectly reproduces a natural tooth
- Strengthens the structure of a weakened tooth
What does the treatment look like?
- Consultation and diagnostics – assessment of the condition of the tooth and taking X-rays.
- Tooth preparation and digital impressions.
- Making a prosthetic inlay in the laboratory (waiting time: several days).
- Fitting and permanent fixation of the finished Onlay / Inlay / Overlay.
