Ceramic Inlays, Onlays and Crowns
Ceramic Inlays, Onlays and Crowns in Mt. Waverley
Have badly chipped, decaying or stained teeth? A ceramic inlay, onlay or crown will help restore your smile so that it’s as good as new. Ceramic crowns are tooth-shaped coverings that fit over your existing tooth or, in the case of missing teeth, are attached to implant posts. They are made from porcelain which gives them a thoroughly natural-looking appearance. Ceramic crowns are becoming an increasingly popular method of cosmetic dentistry in Melbourne as people seek an alternative to unsightly metal crowns.
The expert cosmetic dental team at Dentist@330 will assess your teeth and determine the best type of dental crown, onlay or inlay that will help restore your smile. To know more about ceramic inlays, onlays and crowns or to book an appointment with our experts, call now on (03) 9886 5318

Dr Tran and Charlotte did an incredible job of removing multiple wisdom teeth for my partner and I. Dr Tran was quick and efficient all the way providing the best comforting care supported by Charlotte. I felt no pain and had a very quick recovery period.After visiting two other dentists, Dr Tran was the only dentist confident to do my removal in the chair rather than a hospital. She truly is the wisdom teeth expert.Dentist@330 have got two new regular patients in us and also recommendations to our entire family.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here at Dentist@330! The clinic was very nice and clean. Dr Tran was lovely and treated my chipped tooth with a filling and cleaning service and I was very pleasantly surprised with how quick the session was. I have not experienced any pain in my tooth since!
I was very anxious about having my teeth clean due to sensitive teeth.Dr Faith throughout my procedure would stop to ensure I was okay before continuing on. Made the whole experience comfortable.Dr Faith was an absolute angel and the rest of the staff were so warm and friendly on arrival.
FAQs
Ceramic inlays and onlays are types of dental restorations used to repair decayed or damaged teeth. Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps of the tooth. Crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, providing more comprehensive protection and restoration.
Ceramic inlays, onlays, and crowns offer a natural-looking appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. They are also biocompatible, meaning they are less likely to cause allergic reactions or gum irritation. Additionally, ceramics are durable and stain-resistant, ensuring long-lasting aesthetic results.
With proper care and maintenance, ceramic inlays, onlays, and crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects can help extend their lifespan.
The process typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown may be placed while the permanent one is being made. In the second visit, the permanent ceramic crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place.
Ceramic restorations are ideal for repairing moderate to severe tooth damage, such as large cavities, fractures, or cosmetic imperfections. However, the suitability of ceramic inlays, onlays, and crowns depends on the specific condition of your teeth. Our expert dental team at Dentist@330 will assess your situation and recommend the best treatment option.
Care for ceramic restorations involves maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoid biting on hard objects and consider using a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night. Proper care will help ensure the longevity and appearance of your ceramic restorations.
