Inlays & Onlays
What are Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are crafted from strong,
long-lasting materials like porcelain or composite resin. They offer several advantages over traditional fillings, making them a popular choice for dental tourism:
- Strength and Durability: Inlays and onlays are significantly more durable than traditional fillings, lasting for many years with proper care. This is especially important for teeth subjected to significant chewing forces.
- Preserved Tooth Structure: Unlike fillings, which often require removing a significant amount of healthy tooth structure, inlays and onlays require minimal removal. This helps preserve the natural strength and longevity of your teeth.
- Natural Appearance: These restorations are custom-designed to match the color and translucency of your surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and natural look that blends beautifully with your smile.
- Improved Chewing Function: The strong materials used in inlays and onlays allow you to chew comfortably and confidently, restoring full functionality to your repaired teeth.
