Dental Inlays and Onlays in Roseville, NSW

At Roseville Dental and Implants, we aim to help you preserve your natural teeth and beautiful smile for as long as possible. Dr Yang takes a conservative approach to dental treatment, and dental inlays and onlays offer an excellent solution for preserving natural tooth structure.

Inlays and onlays offer a reliable option if your tooth isn't quite ready for a crown but may be compromised beyond what a filling can repair.

How Do Inlays and Onlays Work?

Inlays and onlays are restorations that restore a damaged tooth with durable, customised composite resin or porcelain material. The restoration strengthens your tooth for practical function while also offering excellent aesthetics. Dr Yang can carefully custom shade your inlay or onlay so it blends seamlessly into your smile.

What's the Difference Between an Inlay and an Onlay?

Inlays and onlays differ in how Dr. Yang will place them on your tooth:

• Inlays fit within the cusps of your tooth, restoring smaller areas of your chewing surface.
• Onlays cover the cusps and even the sides of your tooth and repair more extensive damage.

Whether you're completing an inlay or an onlay, the process is similar:

• Initial evaluation: We assess your teeth and dental health to determine if an inlay or onlay is the best solution for your smile.
• Preparing the tooth: Dr. Yang will clean and remove any damaged or decayed areas of the tooth.
• Taking impressions: When the tooth is free of decay, we'll take impressions to send to the dental lab and seal the tooth with a temporary filling.  
• Permanent placement: After the dental lab has created your custom inlay or onlay, you'll return to our Roseville dental office to have it permanently placed.

Now, you're ready to enjoy chewing, eating, and smiling with your new restoration! 

Whether you need a dental inlay or onlay, a trusted dental lab will fabricate your customised restoration, providing the strength, durability, and function you need combined with your desired aesthetics.

These restorations look very natural since we use tooth-coloured porcelain or resin materials blended to the exact shade of your tooth. You won't have to worry about your dental work standing out when you smile or laugh. 

Inlays and onlays are simple and easy to care for, as you'll brush and floss normally. These restorations also allow us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure, protecting the natural integrity of your tooth.
