Dental and Tooth Inlays & Onlays | Penrith Dental Clinic

Tooth fillings are used when minor decay or damage is reported in the teeth. But when the damage is huge, or a major portion of the tooth is lost during drilling, the dentist will recommend Inlays / Onlays.

What are Inlays / Onlays?

Penrith Dental Clinic | Inlays / Onlays - Dentist Sydney

Inlays / Onlays are used when a major area of the tooth is damaged. They are quite similar to fillings, but are fitted differently. Fillings are spread in the damaged area directly and then hardened. But Inlays / Onlays are made in the lab and then bonded with the damaged tooth.

Inlays are placed in the middle or the inside portion of the tooth, if the damage is internal (normally occurs due to surgical processes). Onlays are placed on the outside of the teeth. This happens due to trauma in most cases.

The Procedure

Unlike fillings, Inlays / Onlays take more than one appointment to be completed. In the first appointment, moulds will be taken and the Inlays / Onlays will be prepared in the lab.

In the next appointment they will be tested on the teeth. If they fit well, they will be inserted permanently, but if not, it will take a few more appointments to complete.

Benefits of Inlays / Onlays

Inlays / Onlays are permanent and they protect your teeth better when compared to fillings. Fillings might easily wear off, but Inlays / Onlays are more durable and comfortable after you get used to them.

Another advantage of Inlays / Onlays is that they resemble the natural colour of your teeth. While they also help in the maintenance of the teeth, they also preserve the natural structure and save the teeth from complete decay.

Friendly, informative and professional.It was my first experience of needing a tooth filling. To reduce the anxiety of the experience Dr Soltani provided comfort in explaining the steps through the process. There was no pain during the procedure and something that felt really scary ended up being a simple process. That’s how you know you have found a great dentist!The only helpful feedback to provide would be to provide mouth wash at the end of the process instead of water. Overall a great experience.

I am so grateful to the team at Penrith Dental Clinic from their service both over the phone and the helpful and friendly service face to face. Sabrina was amazing with my four children and made them all feel very comfortable and relaxed during their check up. The team are all amazing and so helpful from start to finish. My five year old now has a new best friend and can’t wait to come back for our next visit! ;-) thank you all for being so lovely and welcoming.

This was the first time our little girl has been to the dentist. She was very nervous and anxious. From our very first contact at the front desk, the receptionist was very reassuring and tried to ease her fears about seeing Dr Azadi. Dr Azadi and her assistant were very attentive to her and did not just rush through the procedure. They took time to explain things to me, and then to my daughter so that she knew exactly what they were going to do and reassured her that they would stop whenever she needed a break. They were also very encouraging and reassuring throughout the entire procedure. By the end, my daughter was happy and she was even eager to go back for her follow up appointment. I highly recommend Penrith Dental Clinic!

My partner an I have had an extraordinary teeth whitening service from Penrith Dental. We were first hesitant with the in-chair cost however we had sought professionalism and simplicity. We thankfully received both and are happy with their services. Particular health care services may also cover some expenses!~Quick pro tip~Bring some Panadol and headphones while waiting for the process of whitening to be completed.
