Dental Inlays & Overlays in Teignmouth
A procedure to restore teeth. When cavities become too large and an ordinary filling is not strong enough to cope with the required biting forces the dentist will need to have stronger fillings made in the laboratory.
Inlays fit inside the tooth
Onlays fit over the tooth
They are made of various substances e.g. gold, porcelain, etc and last for about 10 to 15 years. They are cemented or bonded to the tooth.
What are Onlays?
Similar to crowns, overlays help to strengthen teeth that have been damaged and weakened by covering the surface of the tooth but also try to preserve as much remaining tooth structure as possible.

Dental Inlays
The difference between inlays and onlays is that an inlay is placed inside a cavity on your tooth, whilst an onlay replaces the cusp or tips of your teeth.
Both are effective, cosmetic treatments to preserve not only the structure and strength of your natural teeth but also match their appearance for a natural look.
