Repair and restore your natural teeth with custom inlays, onlays and crowns that look and feel just like your natural teeth.

Dental inlays are used to repair cavity damage, onlays can be used to repair a broken cusp, and crowns restore the shape and strength of a tooth. These long-lasting restorations will help to preserve your smile.

When would I need an inlay, onlay or crown?

An inlay would be recommended for a deep cavity. An onlay may be used for more extensive damage that spreads to the cusp. And a crown would be suitable for restoring the shape, size or strength of a tooth, particularly after root canal therapy. Porcelain or composite material may be used to create the custom restoration that restores the form and function of the tooth.

How long does the inlay, onlay or crown procedure take?

Your restoration will be completed over two visits. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare the tooth and take impressions using a digital scanner. This helps to create a restoration that is an ideal fit for your mouth. During the second visit, your dentist will permanently fix the inlay, onlay or crown in place.

How long will this restoration last?

This depends on the placement and other lifestyle factors such as teeth grinding and diet. As with all dental restorations, they require good oral hygiene to help maintain them.  A dental inlay or onlay may last for 15-20 years, which is considerably longer than most fillings. A dental inlay, onlay or crown is considered to be a long-term restoration.

As a very nervous patient of the dentist I was SO lucky to have found Dr Farhana Ali and Amelia, her Dental Nurse. I can’t begin to express how caring and professional they both are. I highly recommend them and thank them both for their kindness and understanding on each of my visits to Silk Dental. Also thanks to the friendly and helpful receptionists.

Really good practice, friendly and understanding staff. Really good with nervous patients like myself. The most lovely dentist who offered the sedation I needed when refused by so many others. Thank you. I’m glad I finally found you.

I’ve recently joined Silk Dental and wanted to say a massive thank you to the team for looking after me and getting my teeth sorted. From my initial checkup up with Dr Farhana and later appointment to get a filling sorted my teeth are now looking and feeling so much better. Special thanks to Dental Therapist Liliya and nurses Sophie and Beckie also, it’s so comforting to have found a professional and welcoming dental practice, I’d recommend Silk Dental to anyone, they are the best dentist I have been to.

Excellent practice. Was seen to by Dr. Farhana and Amelia. Dr Farhana was easy to speak with about my concerns and provided wonderful advice. I was kept informed through the procedure. Highly rate Silk Dental.

Just wanted to feedback about the level of service and care I received today at Silk dental. It was absolutely exceptional, the dentist and technician both made me feel at ease, not judged listened to my concerns and offered a treatment plan that would hopefully seek to return my teeth to a point of health. The other thing I’d like to point out is the investment in the practice itself - it’s a beautiful space, and so inviting, rather than obviously clinical. All the staff were friendly and patient, and the communication throughout from the initial conversation about re-joining to the helpful reminders left in voicemails, to everything being in an App- just such a pleasurable experience- especially considering the anxiety I had built about going to the dentist. So a massive thank-you to all
