Inlays Onlays Streatham

Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair teeth that have moderate decay or damage, where a standard filling may not be strong enough but a full crown is not required. They are made from durable materials such as porcelain or composite and are designed to fit precisely into the affected area of the tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function.

Our dental team provides high-quality inlays and onlays that are carefully crafted to match the natural colour of your teeth. These restorations offer a strong, long-lasting solution while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. With their precise fit and natural appearance, inlays and onlays help restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
