Strengthen and restore damaged teeth with custom inlays and onlays that blend seamlessly with your smile.
Reinforces teeth weakened by decay or damage
Custom-made for a precise, secure fit
Tooth-coloured materials blend in naturally
More durable than traditional fillings
If a filling isn’t enough – but a crown feels like too much – dental inlays or onlays may be the perfect in-between solution. At Dental Care Group in Toronto, we offer these strong, custom restorations to treat moderate tooth damage or decay. Inlays and onlays restore your tooth’s strength and appearance without removing as much natural structure as a crown. Designed to fit perfectly into the damaged area, they offer a long-lasting, natural-looking result you can count on.
Fillings are great for small cavities, and crowns are ideal when a tooth is severely damaged. But what about everything in between? Inlays and onlays offer a conservative and durable solution when decay or wear is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown.
These restorations help preserve your natural tooth structure, protect against further damage, and restore your bite strength. They’re custom-made to match your natural tooth colour, so they blend in beautifully and function just like your original tooth.
The process is simple, comfortable, and generally completed in two visits:
We examine your tooth and remove any decay or old filling material.
We take a precise digital scan to design your custom inlay or onlay.
A temporary inlay or onlay protects your tooth while your final piece is being crafted.
Once your restoration is ready, we bond it securely and adjust the fit for comfort and bite.
Whether you need a back molar restored or want to replace a large old filling, our Toronto team ensures a seamless, natural-looking result.
A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t just affect your smile – it can impact your ability to eat comfortably and maintain a healthy diet. According to the Canadian Dental Association, untreated decay can lead to tooth loss, infection, and even chronic pain. Inlays and onlays offer a preventive approach, stopping the spread of decay and protecting your oral and overall health.
Inlays and onlays may be recommended for patients who:

I’ve been going here since I was a teen, and for the front desk staff, to the dentists and the hygienists – everyone is so kind! The front desk team always remembers you, and they’re just so sweet.
