Inlays and Onlays South Croydon

Dental inlays and onlays are known as indirect fillings

They are:

• Used when there is insufficient tooth structure to support a directly placed filling, and protect the tooth from chewing forces
• Made of composite resin or porcelain (which are colour matched for a natural look), but gold is also used
• Adhesively bonded and fitted into place for a long-lasting repair
• A common option when replacing silver amalgam fillings
• Custom made in our lab by our technicians to fit into or over the tooth, similar to that of a crown
