Everyone is lovely and very professional! I couldn’t have chosen a better dental clinic.
We can restore your damaged or decaying teeth with inlays and onlays in Kings Cross, Euston, and Gray’s Inn.
Inlays and onlays are like a 3D jigsaw piece, custom-made to fit your tooth. Similar to fillings, they’re used to fill a cavity, specifically on one of your back teeth, and most commonly used when the damage to the tooth is too extensive for a simple filling to fix. As the name suggests, we would use an inlay to repair the centre of the tooth, whereas an onlay is a bigger restoration, used when the damage also affects the raised parts of the tooth (otherwise known as the cusps).
Inlays and onlays are great for:

Dental smiles are just that "smiles". Fay is the most helpful and kind Receptionist and always makes me feel at ease. The dentist are always nice and tell you what and how there going to do to your teeth. I'm very happy going here and my anxiety has eased knowing I'm in very safe hands.
After the initial consultation, your dental treatment with an inlay or onlay usually takes place over 2 sessions, depending on the extent of the damage, and how many teeth need to be treated. Your dentist will outline the procedure at your consultation, and let you know what to expect.
We’ll perform a thorough examination of your teeth and decide whether or not an inlay or an onlay is the right course of treatment. Your dentist will discuss your options with you, take x-rays if needed, and book in your appointments.
Your dentist will numb the area with a local anaesthetic and remove any tooth decay. Then take an impression of your which will be used to create the inlay or onlay, and insert a temporary filling to protect your tooth from bacteria.
When your inlay or onlay is ready, you’ll come back in so your dentist can remove the temporary filling and have your new inlay or onlay fitted. We’ll make sure it matches your existing teeth and is comfortable and secure.
Although your inlay or onlay is made of very strong material and hard to crack, you’ll need to look after it with daily brushing and flossing, regular dental hygienist visits, and being careful when eating certain foods that could damage it.
Our inlays and onlays start at £650. As well as offering NHS paid or subsidised treatments, we offer a range of payment instalment options for private treatment, including finance plans. See our pricing page for more information.
No – we use the highest quality dental ceramic available, which will be matched to the shade of your other teeth so it blends in perfectly.
