Inlays & Onlays
At Sublime Smiles, we offer advanced restorative solutions with our Inlays and Onlays services. These durable and aesthetically pleasing treatments are ideal for repairing teeth that have moderate to severe damage or decay. Our inlays and onlays are designed to restore the function and appearance of your teeth, providing long-lasting results with a natural look.
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
- Inlays: An inlay is used to repair damage or decay located within the cusps of the tooth. It is placed inside the tooth structure to restore its shape and strength, making it ideal for areas with moderate damage.
- Onlays: An onlay, sometimes referred to as a partial crown, covers one or more cusps of the tooth. It extends beyond the central part of the tooth and provides additional protection, making it suitable for teeth with more extensive damage.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
Natural Appearance
Both inlays and onlays are crafted from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or composite resin, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Durability
These restorations are highly durable and can withstand the forces of chewing, offering long- lasting protection and functionality.
Preservation of Tooth Structure
Inlays and onlays require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure compared to full crowns, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Enhanced Protection
They provide a strong, protective covering for damaged or decayed teeth, preventing further deterioration and potential issues.
Comfort and Fit
Custom-made to fit your tooth precisely, inlays and onlays offer a comfortable and secure restoration that enhances your overall dental health.
