Porcelain Inlays & Onlays in DHA Phase 4, Lahore
The Conservative Alternative to Crowns.
What do you do when a cavity is too big for a filling but you don't want to shave down the whole tooth for a crown? The answer is an Inlay or Onlay. At Dental Services in Sector DD, we prioritize Biomimetic Dentistry—saving as much of your healthy tooth as possible.
Why Choose Inlays/Onlays?
Crowns require removing significant tooth structure. Inlays/Onlays fit into the tooth like a puzzle piece, strengthening it without aggressive drilling. They are perfect for patients in DHA who want the most conservative, long-lasting restoration available.
What Are They?
- Inlay: Fits inside the bumps (cusps) of the tooth.
- Onlay: Covers one or more bumps (cusps) but not the whole tooth. (Often called a "Partial Crown").
- Material: Made from durable Porcelain or E-Max, which is much stronger than regular filling material.
Is This Right for You?
- You have a large cavity or old failing filling.
- Your tooth is weak but the side walls are still healthy.
- You want a restoration that lasts longer than a composite filling (up to 20 years).
Our Process at our Sector DD Clinic
- Clean Up: We remove the decay and old filling.
- Scan/Mold: We take an impression of the cavity.
- Lab Work: A technician crafts the porcelain piece to fit the cavity perfectly.
- Bonding: We cement the piece into the tooth. It bonds intimately with the enamel, restoring 98% of the tooth's original strength.
What Our Patients Are Saying
"Dr. Islam suggested an Onlay instead of a full crown to save my tooth structure. I really appreciated that he chose the less invasive option. It feels rock solid." — Dr. Hassan, DHA Phase 5
FAQs About Inlays/Onlays
Why not just do a big filling?
Large fillings shrink when they harden, creating gaps and stress that can crack the tooth. Porcelain inlays do not shrink and reinforce the tooth structure.
Is it more expensive than a filling?
Yes, because it is custom-made in a lab like a crown. However, it lasts much longer, making it a better investment.
Can you see it?
No, it is color-matched porcelain and looks completely natural.
