What are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

The inlays are indirect restorations laboratory fabricated and custom designed to fit perfectly into the prepared tooth.

Unlike direct fillings, inlays offer:

  • Millimeter adjustment with digital technology
  • Optimal sealing to prevent secondary caries
  • Greater durability compared to traditional resins
  • Natural esthetics, mimicking with the tooth

Types of Dental Inlays in Costa Rica

According to its extension:

  • Inlay: restores the central part without covering cusps
  • Onlay: covers central part + cusps
  • Overlay: reconstructs the entire masticatory surface
  • Endocrown: ideal for endodontically treated teeth

Depending on the material:

  • Lithium disilicate → aesthetics and natural translucency
  • Zirconium → maximum resistance for high load areas
  • Composite resin → economical and repairable option in the mouth
