SW Calgary Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays in SW Calgary to Strengthen and Protect Your Smile

At Dr. Korol Dental, we believe restorative care should be as conservative as possible while still providing strength and durability. Inlays and onlays are an excellent option when a filling is not enough to repair a tooth, but a full crown is not yet necessary. Designed to restore function, support chewing, and extend the life of your tooth, inlays and onlays allow us to repair damage while preserving more of your natural structure.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom restorations that fit into or over the chewing surface of a tooth. They are often recommended when:

• A cavity is too large for a filling but does not require a full crown
• A tooth has been weakened by decay or older restorations
• Extra reinforcement is needed to support function and prevent fracture
• Inlays fit within the grooves of the tooth’s biting surface.
• Onlays extend over one or more cusps (the raised edges of the tooth).

Both are crafted to provide a secure, long-lasting fit that blends with your surrounding teeth.

Why Choose Inlays and Onlays at Dr. Korol Dental?

• Conservative Treatment: Preserve more of your natural tooth compared to full crowns.
• Strength and Durability: Stronger than fillings, designed to support everyday function.
• Aesthetic Results: Made from tooth-coloured materials for a discreet appearance.
• Material Conscious Care: We select quality, mercury-free materials to restore your teeth with safety and wellness in mind.

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Consultation: examine your tooth and overall oral health to confirm whether an inlay or onlay is the best solution.
2. Preparation: Any damaged or decayed areas are removed, and the tooth is shaped for precision.
3. Impressions: A digital scan or impression is taken and sent to a trusted lab to create your restoration.
4. Placement: Once ready, your inlay or onlay is securely bonded to the tooth and polished for comfort and function.

Our team will ensure your comfort throughout the process and provide guidance for caring for your restoration long term.
