Dental Inlay Onlay in Turkey: What Is It?
Inlays and onlays at VK Smile Studio are used to restore damaged teeth.
An inlay is a filling made from a material (usually ceramic or composite) that is created from an impression of the cavity and then placed inside the tooth cavity.
An onlay is a filling that covers a larger area of the tooth surface, including one or both side surfaces. It is used when teeth damage is extensive and requires restoration of not only the upper but also the lateral surfaces.
Inlay and Onlay Restoration: What Is the Difference?
The difference between inlay onlay in Turkey is the area of the tooth they are placed on and what parts they restore.
Inlay is placed inside the cavity, while onlay covers not only the top but also the sides of the tooth, providing additional support and protection.
Dental onlay before and after in Turkey provides greater protection and support to a damaged tooth and is used to repair more extensive damage to teeth, including the top and sides.
Inlays and Onlays Dental Treatment Cost in Turkey
The cost of inlay and onlay dental treatment depends on the chosen material, clinic, region and complexity of the procedure.
The price for one inlay ranges from £100 to £300, and for an onlay ranges from £150 to £400 on average.
You can contact VK Smile Studio to obtain accurate information on prices and clarify the materials used and the individual features of the procedure.
Dental Inlays and Onlays Indications
Installation of dental inlays may be recommended in the following cases:
- the need to restore a small or medium part of a damaged tooth;
- the presence of carious defects on the upper surface of the tooth;
- restoration of teeth with limited defects.
Installation of dental onlays may be recommended in the following cases:
- extensive damage, including the upper and lateral surfaces;
- restoration of teeth with large and complex defects;
- the need for enhanced protection and support.
Criteria for placing inlay onlay in Turkey include the size and nature of the tooth defect, the area that needs to be restored and the general teeth condition.
How Are Inlays and Onlays Manufactured?
The dentist takes a tooth impression using a special material to create a cavity model. Based on the impression, an individual filling is made in the laboratory from ceramics or other materials.
The skill of a laboratory technician and the use of high-precision equipment allow us to create a filling that exactly matches the shape and size of the tooth.

Dental Inlays and Onlays Types
Varieties of inlay and onlay dental treatment include several types of materials, each of which has its characteristics and advantages.
Ceramic
These fillings are made of ceramic, which has a high aesthetics and natural appearance.
Ceramic fillings offer excellent aesthetics, colour matching, and durability. They are poorly permeable to pigments, preventing redness and are resistant to food acids.
Gold
Gold fillings are made from precious metal, ensuring high durability.
Gold is perfectly adjusted, which helps minimise the likelihood of defects and ensures good compatibility with the gum tissue. They also prevent reactions to tartar.
Composite
Composite materials such as acrylic resins are used to create these fillings, providing durability, strength and good bonding to the dental tissue.
These inlays and onlays are aesthetically pleasing, can be placed directly into the mouth, and require minimal tooth preparation to help preserve healthy tissue.

FAQ
Composite fillings are used to restore teeth directly, that is, by directly applying and modelling a composite material to the tooth surface.
Ceramic inlays and onlays are usually characterised by fairly high durability and resistance.
With proper dental care and regular preventive visits to the dentist, ceramic fillings can last from 10 to 15 years and even longer.
Inlay and onlay ceramic fillings are considered safe and biocompatible materials, which means they do not cause allergic reactions or other unwanted effects in the oral cavity.
Ceramic materials are resistant to food acids, do not absorb pigments from food, and provide a natural appearance to teeth.
The choice between inlay, onlay and dental crowns depends on the area of damage, functional requirements and the patient’s aesthetic preferences.
A dental crown is often used for extensive damage where the entire top layer of the tooth needs to be covered. It provides stronger protection but requires more tooth tissue removal.
The ceramic inlay and onlay are individually created based on the characteristics and shape of the patient’s tooth, ensuring a perfect fit.
When installing inlay and onlay, a more healthy tooth structure is preserved, contributing to its preservation and stability.
