If an inlay or onlay treatment is right for you, your dentist will first administer a local anaesthetic to begin the preparation of the tooth to be treated.
When damaged or decayed parts of the tooth have been removed, dental impressions can be taken.
Your inlay or onlay will then be custom-crafted by a specialist dental lab to fit the space in or on the prepared tooth exactly.
During your follow-up appointment, the insert will be precisely positioned and then permanently bonded in place.
To complete the restoration of the tooth, the surface is smoothed and polished, leaving you with a comfortable bite and a pleasing aesthetic result.
