Inlays and Onlays Turkey

When undergoing root canal treatment or procedures for extensively decayed teeth, it is common for a small amount of healthy tooth structure to remain, resulting in weakened enamel and dentin tissue. This can cause a loss of contact with neighboring teeth and make it risky to apply large fillings that may further weaken the tooth. However, restoring the tooth’s strength is essential rather than compromising it further. This is where inlays and onlays dental fillings come into play, as they are custom-made prosthetics created outside the mouth. Our dental clinic in Turkey has a high success rate in applying ceramic inlays and onlays, which provide excellent support to weakened teeth while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.

What Are Inlays and Onlays Fillings?

Inlays and onlays are highly durable porcelain ceramic fillings used to restore teeth with extensive material loss, whereas composite fillings cannot achieve optimal results. These restorations aim to preserve as much of the remaining healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing patients to use their natural teeth for an extended period without extensive intervention.
Inlay restorations are used for smaller areas within the tooth and cover the inner part, including protrusions. In comparison, onlay repairs are applied to larger areas on the tooth’s upper surface. Inlays and onlays are custom-made in Turkey, using the patient’s existing dental tissue to ensure an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable fit. Skilled technicians prepare the fillings in a laboratory setting by taking precise measurements from the tooth after the decayed tissue is removed. The ceramic fillings are then adhesively bonded to the tooth surface in a clinical setting.
Essentially, inlays and onlays act like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly into the tooth’s missing structure. Our dental clinic in Turkey offers inlays and onlays fillings as an ideal solution for patients seeking top-notch aesthetics, comfort, and long-term durability.

In what situations do we prefer Inlays or Onlays in Turkey?

Inlays & Onlays ceramic dental fillings are preferred in Turkey because of excessive material loss. Tooth decay can lead to a greater loss of substance. This is why we often have to remove a third of the tooth when cleaning this type of caries. In such situations, we prefer to use inlays and onlays ceramic fillings over composite fillings made in Turkey. Ceramic fillings are sometimes preferred to replace amalgam fillings. Ceramic fillings are better for the tooth and last longer. Inlays and onlays are preferred in Turkey for damaged teeth or tissue too low to be treated by zirconia crowns turkey.

At our dental clinic in Marmaris & Antalya Turkey, we often recommend inlays and onlays ceramic fillings for cases where there is extensive material loss in the tooth due to decay. In such situations, traditional composite fillings may not provide the best results, and there may only be a small amount of healthy tooth structure remaining after removing the decay. In such cases, inlays and onlays ceramic fillings are an excellent solution for restoring the tooth’s strength and function while providing optimal aesthetics.

Furthermore, when removing old amalgam fillings, we often suggest replacing them with ceramic fillings to protect the tooth better and prolong its lifespan. Inlays and onlays fillings are also preferred when tissue loss is too low to be treated with zirconia crowns in Turkey.

In summary, inlays and onlays ceramic fillings are ideal for restoring teeth that have suffered significant damage or material loss, where traditional fillings may not be suitable. Our dental clinic in Turkey is committed to providing patients with high-quality, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing restorations that meet their unique needs and preferences.


How Do We Make Inlays and Onlays Fillings in Turkey?

In our dental clinic in Marmaris&Antalya, Turkey, we follow a precise and efficient process to create inlays and onlays dental fillings. We apply local anesthesia to ensure our patient’s comfort during the procedure. Then, we carefully remove any decay or damaged tissue from the tooth, leaving only healthy tooth structure behind.
Next, we take accurate measurements of the remaining tooth structure, which we send to our dental laboratory. Our skilled technicians use these measurements to create customized ceramic fillings that fit perfectly into the tooth’s cavity. This approach ensures a precise and comfortable fit for the patient, with minimal preparation required.
In the second session, we attach the prepared inlay or onlay filling to the patient’s tooth using dental adhesive, completing the restoration process. This process enables us to create high-quality and durable inlays and onlays ceramic fillings in just two sessions, providing our patients with an efficient and effective treatment option for restoring damaged or decayed teeth.

What are the Inlay & Onlay Advantages?

What are the Differences Between Composite Filling and Inlays & Onlays?

Composite fillings and inlays/onlays are both types of tooth-colored fillings used to restore decayed or damaged teeth. However, there are some key differences between the two.
Composite fillings are placed directly in the mouth after the decay is removed, and they can be completed in a single visit. In contrast, inlays and onlays are indirect fillings requiring two dentist visits. During the first visit, the decay is removed, and a mold of the tooth is taken. The inlay/onlay is fabricated in a dental laboratory and adhered to the tooth during the second visit.
While composite fillings are a good option for small to medium-sized restorations, inlays, and onlays are typically used for larger restorations. Inlays and onlays are made from more durable materials, such as porcelain or ceramic, which can withstand the forces of chewing better than composite fillings. They are also more resistant to staining and discoloration and can last longer than composite fillings with proper care.
Both composite fillings and inlays/onlays can provide excellent results for restoring damaged teeth. Your dentist can help you determine the best option for your specific needs.
