Zirconia Inlay or Onlay Nisantasi

At Esnan Dental Clinics, zirconia inlay and onlay restorations are used to repair damaged back teeth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as clinically possible. An inlay restores the damaged area within the cusps of the tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps when additional coverage and protection are required. These restorations may be recommended when a conventional filling is insufficient but a full dental crown is not necessary. Inlay or onlay treatment may be suitable for: • Moderate to extensive tooth decay• Fractured or weakened back teeth • Replacement of large or failing fillings • Teeth requiring additional protection of the chewing surface • Patients seeking a durable, tooth-coloured restoration Each treatment begins with a clinical examination and digital assessment. The dentist evaluates the remaining tooth structure, bite, gum health, decay, and any existing restorations before selecting the most appropriate design. The Esnan Digital workflow may include: • Removal of decay or damaged restoration• Conservative preparation of the tooth • Intraoral digital scanning • CAD/CAM restoration design • Precision production by Esnan Digital, our in-house dental laboratory • Shade selection and aesthetic characterization • Adhesive bonding, bite adjustment, and final quality control Zirconia offers high strength, durability, biocompatibility, and a natural tooth-coloured appearance. Each restoration is individually designed to achieve a precise fit, balanced bite, and long-term functional support. The choice between an inlay, onlay, filling, or full crown depends on the extent of tooth damage, remaining healthy structure, bite forces, and the patient’s overall treatment plan.
