Inlays & Onlays
Inlays & Onlays Bondi, Bondi Junction, Sydney
1 Introduction
The back teeth can often develop tooth decay and while we can mend small to medium-sized cavities with tooth coloured fillings, larger areas of decay will require a stronger restoration. This is why Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs dentist Dr Poulos might suggest using an inlay or onlay to mend your back tooth, restoring its strength and structure as well as its appearance.

What are Inlays and Onlays?
Risks and Recovery
Dental fillings are a routine way to restore teeth affected by decay or damage, but they come with some risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Temporary sensitivity to hot, cold or pressure after placement
- Gum irritation near the treated tooth
- Risk of filling fracture or wear over time
- Rare chance of needing further treatment, such as a crown or root canal, if the tooth is more compromised than expected
Recovery considerations:
- Most patients return to normal activities immediately
- Mild sensitivity usually settles within a few days
- Avoiding very hard or sticky foods can help protect new fillings
- Regular check-ups support long-term success of the restoration
