Repair and strengthen damaged teeth with precise, long-lasting inlays and onlays.
When a tooth is too damaged for a standard filling but doesn’t require a full crown, dental inlays and onlays offer a strong, conservative solution. At Crown Dental Group, we use custom-made inlays and onlays to restore damaged teeth while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, inlays and onlays provide long-lasting strength, comfort, and natural aesthetics.

Preserves more natural tooth structure than crowns
Crafted specifically for your tooth for strength and comfort
Dental inlays and onlays are indirect restorations used to repair teeth affected by decay, damage, or large failing fillings.
They are often recommended when a filling is no longer strong enough, but a full crown would remove more healthy tooth than necessary.
Inlays and onlays offer a balance between strength, longevity, and tooth preservation.
Inlays and onlays are ideal when a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide, but a crown would remove too much healthy structure. This conservative approach helps maintain the long-term strength and integrity of your natural tooth.
Because inlays and onlays are fabricated as a single solid piece and bonded to the tooth, they offer superior strength and resistance to wear. They are designed to withstand daily chewing forces and can last many years with good oral hygiene.
Using tooth-coloured materials, inlays and onlays are crafted to closely match the shade and shape of your natural teeth. Once placed, they blend seamlessly into your smile and are virtually unnoticeable.
Custom fabrication allows for a precise fit, reducing gaps and improving bite alignment. This helps prevent future decay around the restoration and ensures a comfortable, natural feel when chewing.
Inlays and onlays are stronger and more durable than fillings, making them ideal for larger areas of damage where a filling may fail over time.
With proper care, inlays and onlays can last 10–20 years or longer.
