Prostheses to reshape teeth

In ceramic, metal or composite, onlays, inlays and overlays are custom-made dental prostheses that restore the tooth. Stronger, more reliable and more aesthetically pleasing, inlays, onlays and overlays offer high mechanical strength and better adaptation to tooth walls, ensuring high-quality tooth restoration over the long term.

In many cases, this technique makes it possible to avoid devitalizing badly damaged teeth on which conventional fillings would not hold sufficiently. As for devitalized teeth, in some cases it can avoid the need for crowns.

Inlay, onlay, overlay: what's the difference?

  • Inlay
    The inlay fills the cavity of a decayed or broken tooth.

 

  • Onlay
    The onlay covers a larger upper part of the tooth to fill one or more cavities.

 

  • Overlay
    The overlay completely covers the tooth. It's a prosthetic part that replaces the crown.
FAQ

Placing an inlay, onlay or overlay

The dentist makes a diagnosis, then prepares the tooth by cleaning out decay and excavating the cavity.

He then makes a dental impression using a digital impression camera.

The part is designed on site in our integrated prosthetics laboratory.

 

These prosthetic parts are shaped using the layering technique, with successive additions of different composite masses, making the whole very solid. They are then glazed in a ceramic furnace to improve their mechanical properties and dimensional stability.

 

Finally, the inlay, onlay or overlay is bonded under a dike (isolation of the tooth by a mini-operation field).

With good oral hygiene, inlays, onlays and overlays can last up to 25 years.

 

Ideal cosmetic prostheses for aesthetic dentistry, inlays, onlays and overlays enable reconstruction of the original tooth morphology, with the return of optimal chewing efficiency.
