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.

A dental practice with heart
Changing Faces is a great place – a dental practice with heart. The management and staff are friendly and put you at ease. Marc and Suresh explained everything to us about what is involved in having implants, and although it takes a while to complete such treatment due to the various stages, healing times between the stages etc, once complete you would never want “real teeth” again!…
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.
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!….
Wish I had found them sooner!
Wish I had found them sooner! I held off seeing the dentist for years and was worried about how bad my teeth might be and everyone here has put me at ease and got my teeth in a much better condition with no judgment…
My teeth are now perfect
What a fantastic experience and results with Changing Faces in Knowle, Solihull. Every single member of staff are so professional, friendly, knowledgeable and put you at your ease from the moment you step in. I had a lot of treatment which involved a mix of extractions/bridge/dentures and implants. My teeth are now perfect and I am able to smile again with confidence. So so happy!…
I could not be happier
I’ve had a fantastic experience from start to finish with Dr. Keely Thorne & Dental nurse Kerry, both extremely helpful, friendly and professional! I could not be happier with my results after having Invisalign and would highly recommend Changing Faces & the team!
