These forms of indirect fillings restore mild to moderate decay, cracks, or chips on teeth. They can be made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold. Dental inlays are bonded to shallow cavities on the tip of the affected tooth, placed in the middle, and extended to the cusps. Dental onlays are used for larger cavities that require additional coverage.
Although these indirect restoration types are more expensive than traditional fillings, they are much stronger and more durable. The durable materials used offer a wide range of colours to blend with the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance.
