INLAYS & ONLAYS
We can easily repair small and medium-sized cavities using beautiful coloured composite tooth fillings in Beerwah, but this material is not strong enough to repair larger areas of decay. If you have quite a large cavity in a back tooth, we will most likely suggest you have an inlays-onlays.
These are made from porcelain and are longer-lasting than composite and are extremely strong. By using this type of restoration, we can restore strength and structure to your tooth so you will be able to chew without fear of fracturing the tooth. These restorations are custom-made in our dental laboratory so treatment will take a bit longer.
What is the Difference Between an Inlays and an Onlay?
An inlay will restore the middle part of a back tooth, but an onlay repairs a larger area that will include one or more cusps. These are the raised points you can see on the inner and outer edges of back teeth, closest to your cheeks and tongue.
