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.

No longer scared of the dentist
Marc and the team are amazing I was terrified of the dentist and didn’t go for years. Through every step the team reassured me and took care of me. Fabulous results! I have smiled more in the last few weeks than I have in years. Highly recommend Changing Faces
Made me feel very relaxed
I met Dr Suresh Chohan 6 years ago .He did my implant treatment for me at Changing Faces Knowle. I felt he is very passionate and empathetic, he made me feel very relaxed as I was very nervous and six years later I’m still his patient…
I’m over the moon
Great team. Mark is very professional but with a nice personal touch. I’m over the moon with the dentures provided and have my confidence back.
I’m blown away with the results
I recently found Changing Faces Dentistry online. The service I have received has been excellent. I have had issues with the appearance of my teeth my whole life.
I had composite bonding on my front two teeth and I’m blown away with the results. They look fantastic. Thank you so much Keeley….
AMAZING!!
AMAZING!! I can’t believe just how quick I have seen results. I’m only 16 weeks in to wearing Invisalign and near the end, I just can’t get over how quick it’s gone and how much my teeth have changed. I just wish I would of done it sooner…
Perfect
Today I have received my new denture and I’m thrilled with it. After many years of poorly fitting NHS dentures and after reading the reviews about Changing Faces I decided to attend for a consultation. From the moment I met Marc and his lovely team I just knew that my new bespoke denture would be perfect and it is.
The results speak for themselves
I’ve recently completed Invisalign with Keely…. After just 6 months all my front teeth are completely straight, I would highly recommend the treatment, especially with Keely. The results speak for themselves.
I felt that everything was going to be okay
..From the moment I walked in through the doors and was greeted by Kim I felt that everything was going to be okay. Suresh is an amazing Dentist and is very good at listening and putting you at ease. He examined me,was non judgmental and I could feel my fear subside and even allowed myself to get excited! Second appointment was with the wonderful Marc and his excitement for your smile is infectious…
