Dental Inlays and Onlays in Calgary SE, AB

Your smile deserves care that goes beyond basic fillings. At Stoney Trail Dental in Calgary, AB, we specialize in dental inlays and onlays, offering personalized, long-lasting restorations designed to protect, strengthen, and beautify your teeth. Whether you have moderate tooth decay or damaged enamel, our inlays and onlays can restore your natural shape and function with precision and aesthetic harmony.

What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that fit into or onto a tooth to repair damage that is too extensive for a regular filling but not severe enough for a dental crown. They are often crafted from porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin for durability and a natural appearance.

They provide a durable, aesthetic alternative to metal fillings while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

Why Choose Inlays and Onlays Over Fillings or Crowns?

Modern advances in dental materials and precision-fabrication techniques have made inlays and onlays a preferred choice for many patients in Calgary seeking strong, aesthetic, and minimally invasive restorations.

Key advantages include:

Exceptional strength and long life compared to traditional fillings
Greater preservation of your natural tooth structure
High resistance to wear and staining
A tight seal that prevents bacterial leakage
Perfect color matching to your natural enamel

At Stoney Trail Dental, our restorations are crafted using high-quality materials, ensuring your tooth not only functions well but also looks completely natural.

When Are Inlays and Onlays Recommended?

Dental inlays and onlays are often ideal when:

If you notice sensitivity when chewing, small cracks in your teeth, or old amalgam fillings deteriorating, our dentists in Calgary, AB, can assess whether inlays or onlays are the best solution for you.

The Step-by-Step Process of Getting Inlays and Onlays

At Stoney Trail Dental, our process combines technology, comfort, and precision to give you the best possible results. Here’s what to expect:

Initial Examination: We start with a comprehensive checkup and digital imaging to determine the extent of tooth damage.
Preparation: Your dentist removes decayed or damaged parts of the tooth while preserving as much natural tissue as possible.
Impression and Fabrication:A detailed digital or physical impression is taken and sent to our dental lab, where your custom inlay or onlay is crafted to fit seamlessly.
Temporary Restoration: A temporary covering may be placed to protect your tooth while your permanent restoration is created.
Bonding: Once ready, your inlay or onlay is precisely fitted and permanently bonded using a strong dental adhesive.
Polishing and Finishing: Finally, your restoration is polished for a natural luster and checked for proper bite alignment.

This process results in a restoration that feels comfortable, looks natural, and lasts for years.

The procedure is generally comfortable. Local anesthesia ensures you feel no pain during the process, and most patients resume normal activity the same day.
