Inlays and Onlays in Glasgow

What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?

An inlay is carried out when the tooth structure to be replaced is within the cusp tips of the tooth.

If the damage is more extensive and the new structure covers the entire chewing surface including one or more tooth cusps, the procedure is called an onlay.

These are large fillings created in a laboratory and are carved into the shape of a tooth. They are ideal for very heavily filled teeth.
