Dental inlays are meticulously crafted restorations that fit snugly within the prepared cavity of a tooth. Custom made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, these inlays are designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional integrity.
Choosing dental inlays is a great way to improve your smile while being mindful of preserving your tooth structure. Unlike some other treatments, they don’t require much alteration, which is a plus. They can fix various dental issues like chips, cracks, or small gaps between teeth effectively. Plus, they’re durable and blend in well with your natural teeth, giving you a lasting solution that feels just right.

When it comes to types of dental inlays, there are a few options to consider. One popular choice is porcelain inlays, known for their durability and natural appearance. Unlike temporary solutions like composite resin, porcelain inlays offer superior aesthetics and longevity. Opting for quality inlays ensures not only a confident smile but also long-term oral health benefits.
In addition to porcelain inlays, another option is composite resin inlays. While they may not offer the same level of durability as porcelain, composite resin inlays can still provide a natural-looking restoration for your teeth. They are typically made to match the colour of your natural teeth and can be a more affordable option for some patients. However, they may not last as long as porcelain inlays and may require more frequent replacements. It’s essential to discuss with your dentist which type of inlay is best suited for your specific dental needs and budget.
Gold inlays, though less common, offer durability and biocompatibility. They withstand heavy chewing forces and are suitable for metal allergy patients. However, they are more noticeable than porcelain and composite resin inlays due to their colour, which is something you might want to consider depending on your preferences and your dentist recommendations.
The process of receiving dental inlays is relatively straightforward and minimally invasive. After an initial assessment of your dental health and discussion of treatment options, your dentist will carefully shape and adjust your teeth to ensure the perfect fit for the inlays.Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to the lab, where custom inlays will be made to precise specifications. During the next appointment, your dentist will ensure the inlays fit perfectly before bonding them securely into place.
The cost of dental inlays at Blue Finch Dental ranges between £700 and £1100, with discounts available for multiple inlays or comprehensive smile treatments. We also offer various opening discounts to make your dental care more accessible. Please refer to our fees page for further details.
Maintaining your dental inlays is straightforward and requires no specialised care beyond regular oral hygiene practices. Brushing and flossing daily help prevent plaque buildup and maintain the health of your teeth and gums. While porcelain inlays are highly resistant to staining, it’s advisable to avoid foods and beverages known to discolour teeth. Routine checkups with your dentist allow for early detection of any issues with your inlays and ensure ongoing oral health.
