Precision Restorations for Lasting Strength and Aesthetics
At Aesthetic Dental Clinic Costa Rica, Onlay and Inlay restorations offer a perfect balance between durability, aesthetics, and tooth preservation. Designed to restore decayed, cracked, or worn teeth, these custom-crafted restorations are a conservative alternative to full crowns. Using advanced digital imaging and precision milling, the clinic’s dental specialists ensure a seamless fit that looks and feels natural—while preserving as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible.
🦷 What Are Onlays and Inlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom restorations used when damage is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to require a full crown.
Inlays fit within the tooth’s cusps, restoring strength and shape.
Onlays cover one or more cusps, offering additional protection for weakened areas.
At Aesthetic Dental Clinic Costa Rica, these restorations are made using premium materials like porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin, perfectly color-matched to the surrounding teeth for a flawless result.
🦷 Types of Onlays and Inlays
✔️ Porcelain Onlays/Inlays – Highly aesthetic and durable, ideal for visible teeth.
✔️ Composite Resin Onlays/Inlays – A cost-effective option that provides natural appearance and easy bonding.
✔️ Gold Onlays/Inlays – Extremely long-lasting and resistant to wear, often used for molars.
✔️ Ceramic (E.max) Onlays/Inlays – Combines exceptional strength with translucency, mimicking natural enamel.
🦷 Who Is a Good Candidate?
✔️ Patients with moderate tooth decay or fractures
✔️ Those who want to preserve natural tooth structure
✔️ Individuals with old or failing fillings
✔️ Patients seeking aesthetic alternatives to metal fillings
✔️ Anyone with teeth that are too damaged for a filling but not enough for a full crown
🩺Consultation and Preparation
The process begins with a comprehensive dental evaluation and digital imaging. The dentist determines the extent of tooth damage and whether an inlay or onlay is best suited.
✔️ Local anesthesia ensures comfort.
✔️ The damaged area is cleaned and shaped.
✔️ A digital impression is taken using CAD/CAM technology.
✔️ A temporary restoration is placed while your custom onlay/inlay is created.
✔️ In a follow-up visit, it is bonded permanently and polished for a smooth, natural finish.
🩺Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from an onlay or inlay procedure is smooth and simple. Mild sensitivity may occur for a few days, but it fades quickly.
✔️ Mild sensitivity may occur for 1–2 days.
✔️ Avoid very hot, cold, or sticky foods immediately after placement.
✔️ Resume normal brushing and flossing after 24 hours.
✔️ Regular checkups every 6 months ensure your restoration remains perfect.
With proper care, porcelain or ceramic onlays/inlays can last 10–15 years or more.
