Precision Repair for a Lasting Smile
Inlay/Onlay
Advanced protection for worn or damaged teeth
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not quite ready for a crown, an inlay or onlay offers the ideal middle ground. At Finedon Dental, we use high-quality ceramic or composite materials to restore strength, seal damage, and preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Custom-made for a seamless fit and colour-matched to blend beautifully with your smile, these restorations are a minimally invasive, long-lasting solution.
Feel the Difference of a Fresh, Confident Smile
Our professional hygienist services do more than just clean — they help protect your teeth and gums for the long run. Whether it’s removing plaque, preventing gum disease, or simply giving you that clean, polished feel, we’re here to support your oral health every step of the way.
What can our Services do for you?
Strengthen Weakened or Decayed Teeth
Inlays and onlays restore strength to teeth affected by decay, fractures, or wear, helping to prevent further damage.
More Conservative Than Full Crowns
Unlike crowns, which cover the entire tooth, inlays and onlays preserve more of your natural tooth structure while providing excellent protection and support.
Long-Lasting and Stain-Resistant
Made from high-quality porcelain or composite materials, inlays and onlays are highly durable, resistant to staining, and designed to last for many years.
Natural Look and Feel
Each restoration is custom-crafted to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and comfortable result.
Protects Against Further Damage
By sealing and reinforcing the tooth, inlays and onlays help protect against future decay, cracks, and structural weakening.
