Ceramic Inlay is a custom-made dental restoration used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage, especially on the chewing surfaces. Designed to fit precisely within the tooth, it restores both function and appearance while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Made from high-quality ceramic material, inlays closely mimic the colour, translucency, and strength of natural teeth, making them a highly aesthetic and durable alternative to traditional fillings. Unlike standard fillings, ceramic inlays are fabricated outside the mouth or using advanced CAD or CAM technology and then bonded securely into place, reinforcing the tooth and improving its longevity.

Ceramic Inlay works by replacing the damaged portion of a tooth with a precisely crafted restoration. First, the decayed or weakened areas of the tooth are carefully removed, and the tooth is shaped to ensure a perfect fit for the inlay. Using either a dental lab or chairside CAD/CAM technology, the inlay is custom-designed to match the exact contours of the tooth. Once ready, the inlay is bonded into the prepared cavity using strong adhesive materials, creating a tight seal and restoring the tooth’s structure. The dentist then adjusts and polishes the surface to ensure a natural bite and smooth finish. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
