The process of obtaining inlays or onlays involves precision and expertise. It typically begins with taking digital impressions of your teeth to facilitate the creation of these restorations in a dental laboratory. While your inlay or onlay is meticulously crafted, you’ll wear a temporary filling to protect your tooth.

Once your custom inlay or onlay is ready, your dentist will use a special adhesive to securely bond it to your tooth’s surface, replacing the temporary filling. Technological advancements, such as CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing), have revolutionised the procedure. With CAD/CAM technology, porcelain inlays can be efficiently created at the dental practice using a specialised milling machine. This innovation minimises the number of dental visits required to restore your tooth.
