Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays at Drayton Dental Care

Protect your teeth. Preserve your smile.

At Drayton Dental Care, your dental health is our top priority. If we identify tooth decay or damage during your dental health review, we’ll recommend the most effective and minimally invasive treatment to restore your smile. When a standard filling isn’t enough but a crown isn’t yet necessary, an inlay or onlay offers the ideal middle ground.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth that are too damaged for traditional fillings but don’t require full crowns.

Inlays are used to restore the biting surface of a tooth (within the cusps)
Onlays cover a larger area, including one or more cusps of the tooth

These restorations are crafted from high-strength ceramic for durability and a flawless aesthetic, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Why Choose Inlays or Onlays?

Custom-crafted for a natural, seamless look
Strong and durable – longer-lasting than a standard filling
Minimally invasive – preserves more of your natural tooth
Helps prevent future damage and decay
Fabricated using the highest quality ceramic materials

Absolutely fantastic dental care. Really superb support and work from Vasiliki and Ashlee. Thank you.
