Understanding the treatment
This restoration treats the damaged part of a tooth while leaving healthy tissue intact. By limiting treatment to the affected area, it aims to extend the tooth’s life and avoid more extensive restorations. Another major benefit is preserving the nerve, avoiding root canal treatment in most cases.
Reception can direct you to the appropriate dentist. An initial appointment allows us to assess your needs and provide a detailed estimate.

What are dental inlays and onlays?
Inlays and onlays repair partly damaged teeth. Unlike traditional fillings shaped directly inside a cavity, they are made in a laboratory and then bonded to the tooth. An inlay fills a cavity within the tooth’s cusps; an onlay covers one or more cusps for broader protection.
Benefits of inlays and onlays
These restorations are durable, often more so than traditional fillings. Custom manufacture provides a close fit, comfort and a natural appearance. They also preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible, supporting long-term dental health.
Treatment at Cabinet Dentaire 112
- Initial consultation and assessment: at your first visit, we assess your oral health to establish whether an inlay or onlay is the most suitable option.
- Tooth preparation: if an inlay or onlay is needed, the tooth is prepared, usually by removing damaged or decayed tissue.
- Impression and manufacture: a precise impression is taken to make your inlay or onlay. A temporary restoration protects the tooth while the final restoration is being made.
- Fitting: you return when the restoration is ready. We check that it fits correctly before securely bonding it to the tooth.
Caring for inlays and onlays
Although designed to be durable, inlays and onlays need good care. We recommend thorough oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day and daily flossing. Regular check-ups and professional cleaning at Cabinet Dentaire 112 help protect both the restoration and your natural teeth.
