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.

Filled me with confidence
I was a very nervous patient and knowing how much work I’d need made me even worse, but from my very first appointment all the way through treatment everyone was very kind, made the whole process calm and filled me with confidence to get the work done…
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…
Process has been seamless
7 months into my Invisalign journey and I couldn’t recommend Keely and the team anymore. Process has been seamless throughout, 10/10. I couldn’t be happier with my teeth so far and we’re just over half way through!
Thankyou to the lovely ladies at changing faces 😃
Instantly felt relaxed
Lovely & friendly clinic. I instantly felt relaxed & at ease. I also recieved a brilliant & professional service & I look forward to returning. Thank you 😊
You will be amazed!
Marc, Suresh and the rest of the team have been truly amazing by understanding my fears and helping me to regain confidence with a smile!!!! There are simply not enough words to describe how good the team are at Changing faces and I can highly recommend them for both Dentures and Implants. If like me, you thought that nothing could be done to help you regain that smile… think again and make an appointment to see these guys. You will be amazed!
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!…
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!….
Changing Faces are incredible!
Marc and the entire staff of Changing Faces are incredible! I have not only been given the best care as a patient but also as a person. Marc took the time to not only listen to me but also educated me on proper denture care and the difference between ill made and proper made dentures. I have never had such an amazing experience and my dentures look and feel incredible!! Thank you Changing Faces, you changed my life!!
