Some teeth require more support than a conventional filling can provide but may not need the extensive coverage of a dental crown.
In these situations, an inlay or onlay may be considered.
At Mabelle Dental Etobicoke, we assess damaged teeth and recommend restorative treatment based on the amount and location of remaining healthy tooth structure.
Inlays and onlays are custom dental restorations used to repair specific areas of damaged teeth.
An inlay generally restores an area within the chewing surface of the tooth.
An onlay covers a larger area and may extend over one or more tooth cusps.
They may be considered for:
• Moderate tooth decay
• Damaged existing fillings
• Certain cracked teeth
• Worn teeth
• Teeth requiring more restoration than a filling
• Situations where full crown coverage may not be necessary
Fillings are placed directly into the prepared tooth.
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations designed for a specific prepared area.
A crown generally covers most or all of the visible portion of a prepared tooth.
An inlay or onlay restores a more localized area when appropriate.

Great experience! I’m usually very nervous about dentist appointments and treatments, but I recently had my fillings and tooth extraction done by Dr. Mustakeem, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was extremely patient, gentle, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Really happy with the care I received and would definitely recommend Dr. Mustakeem to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.Posted on Google![]()

A dentist must assess the amount of damage and remaining healthy tooth structure.
