Dental Inlays and Onlays in Salamander Bay & Nelson Bay, Port Stephens
Ceramic inlays and onlays are a wonderful alternative when you have a large cavity or crack but don’t quite need the full coverage of a crown. At Cheeky Grin Dental Port Stephens, we highly recommend these lab-made restorations to help strengthen teeth and preserve as much tooth structure as possible.

The Process of Getting an Inlay or Onlay
As a lab-made ceramic filling, inlays and onlays provide more protection than conventional dental fillings. First, we prepare the tooth by removing any damaged, cracked or decayed structures. Then we use a digital scan or mould to create a precision fit to that tooth. From there, the custom ceramic filling is crafted and we chemically bond it to the tooth for an extremely tight seal and hold.
Advantages of Inlays and Onlays
The most notable benefits of inlays and onlays is that they protect teeth that are too damaged to repair with smaller fillings. As lab-made ceramic restorations, these treatments blend durability with aesthetics. At the same time, they are more conservative than full crowns, so less tooth alteration is required.
