Inlays and Onlays Non-Invasive Repair
Sometimes tooth decay causes too much damage for repair with ordinary fillings but doesn’t require treatment with a full crown. When that’s the case, we often turn to inlays and onlays – the conservative alternative to dental crowns.

Virtually impossible to spot
Treatment with inlays and onlays involves removing a tiny part of the affected tooth and producing a restoration to fit the cavity exactly.
Once bonded in place, the inlay or onlay repairs the biting surface. The hard-wearing tooth-coloured composite makes inlays and onlays virtually impossible to spot. They are especially useful for repairing back teeth like molars and premolars.

Inlays vs Onlays
Inlays and onlays repair damage and protect from infection while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.
Generally, we’ll use an inlay to replace the central chewing surface of a back tooth. However, If the decayed area has affected a cusp (the raised edges of your tooth), we’ll use an onlay to repair the damage.
Put simply, an onlay covers the tooth’s cusp while an inlay only fills the central area between the cusps.
At Changing Faces®, we offer a choice of composite or porcelain, both selected for their hard-wearing properties and likeness to natural tooth enamel. Treatment is quick and less expensive than a full crown.

I could not be happier
…Final stage now complete. WOW, look so natural. I could not be happier. I am so grateful to all the team at CHANGING FACES – KNOWLE, Kim & Kerrie (reception), Nicola (practice manager), Chelsea (dental nurse), Babs (best dental hygienist), the duo Marc & Suresh for giving me my confidence to smile back…
I finally have the confidence to smile!
I went down the Invisalign route finishing off with some bonding with Dr Suresh Chohan. I had a very professional experience and the results were amazing. I finally have the confidence to smile! I will be recommending Changing Faces to my friends and family.
The best decision I ever made
The best decision I ever made was to make contact with Changing Faces to undergo an implant procedure. I have received the best treatment from Marc & Suresh alongside all the team. I highly recommend Changing Faces for their pure attention to detail when it comes to the treatments.
You will never look back
If you like myself have a huge phobia of dentists then honestly you need to use changing faces. You will wish you had found them sooner I definitely wish I had. You will never look back and there dental work is just amazing second to non by far…
So comfortable
Having recently received treatment for composite bonding done by suresh and assisted by chelsea!…I was made to feel so comfortable and assured of what has turned out to be wonderful work!….
Absolutely wonderful
I cannot thank and praise Changing Faces enough for the amazing service I have had. I had treatment for gingivitis by the lovely Babita Kainth, who was absolutely wonderful….
Perfect
I recently saw Dr Suresh Chohan for a check up. He is excellent. I’ve had Invisalign, tooth whitening and a dental implant in the past. I did need a replacement filling at my last visit which Suresh did perfectly for me…
Best dentist experience yet
Brilliant service. The hygienist Babs was great! Gave me a thorough clean and went through step by step how to look after my teeth and gums in between cleans. Best dentist experience yet. The receptionist Kerry was very friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend Changing Faces Dentistry.
