We provide inlays and onlays in NW Calgary to patients suffering from tooth decay. This aesthetic alternative to fillings, allows your teeth to maintain their natural appearance. An inlay is the filling that is placed inside the tooth once it is cleaned. The onlay is the sealant that is applied to the surface of the tooth. Both inlays and onlays serve to decrease tooth decay and improve the health and cleanliness of the teeth. Inlays and onlays are custom-made from porcelain, gold or resins.

The Process

The procedure for inlays and onlays will require patients to schedule two appointments at our NW Calgary dental clinic. During the first visit, the teeth are cleaned and impressions are taken. These are sent to the dental laboratory and are used for the fabrication of your inlay or onlay.

At the second visit, the inlay or onlay is placed into your teeth and cemented. To ensure the restoration fits precisely and comfortably, your NW Calgary dentist will evaluate your teeth and bite.
