Inlays and Onlays
in Tamworth

Do You Want Natural Looking Fillings?

If your teeth have decayed and holes have been caused, then an inlay or onlay may be required to treat the cavity. If the cavity is too severe for a filling then the next step up would be for an inlay or onlay (if it isn’t quite severe enough for a crown). Inlays and onlays are treatments that bridge the requirement gap between fillings and crowns, and will depend on how severe your cavity is.

I am a nervous patient and recently have had a fair amount of much needed dental work carried out at Ascent dental care in Tamworth. Everyone at the practice from the women on reception to the 3 practitioners I have had treatment from have been amazing. They have all made me feel respected, reassured and safe, the care and quality of treatment from the practitioners has been excellent. They have explained everything very clearly and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Also, I can honestly say that the treatment has been painless. I will never look forward to visiting the dentist but I am much more reassured that I will be taken care of and my dental care is in the safest and most professional hands!

Why Would You Need Either An Inlay Or Onlay?

An inlay or onlay can be used for:

Moderate teeth decay (less severe cases may be more suitable to have fillings)Slight tooth fractures (in more serious cases dental crowns will be required)
One of the most common first symptoms you may notice that can lead to needing an inlay or onlay is toothache.

Do I Need An Inlay or Onlay?

If you are unsure which treatment will be the most suitable for you, we offer free consultations so we can asses your teeth and identify which options will be the most suitable for you.

Will The Inlays or Onlays Be Noticeable?

We will make the inlays and onlays to match your natural tooth colour so they are very discrete and effective.

How Long Will They Last?

They are both made out of a durable material but their are still certain factors that can affect their longevity:

Oral hygiene

What Are The Differences Between Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays are internal like filling structures that slot in the tooth vertically
Onlays are external fabricated fillings that covers the tip of the tooth horizontally

I came to Tamworth 5 years ago with a real fear of dentists. As I needed to find a new practise I eventually plucked up courage to attend Ascent Dental Care.

I can honestly say, they have been amazing. From the reception team, especially Kathryn to my current dentist, Laura, I now have no fear of going for any treatment. They are extremely patient focused and excellent in caring for the most scared individuals. Would 100% recommend-give them a try-you won’t regret it :-)

What Is Involved In The Treatment?

During the procedure the patient will have very minimal discomfort and the dentist will carefully remove the decay, in preparation for the inlay or onlay.

We will take an impression of the prepared tooth which will then be sent to a lab for the custom inlay and onlay to be fabricated.

When the inlay or onlay is back from the lab, the dentist will carefully fit it to the affected tooth/teeth.

Before & After

This patient attended with two extensively broken upper molars. We placed all ceramic onlays which provide more protection and a great aesthetic result.

I went through the process of having implants fitted. Throughout the whole process I received excellent service and care from everybody at the practice. I did not, at anytime, feel uncomfortable or any pain and the procedure was never rushed but carried out at a pace that meant a very successful outcome. I’d recommend this practice very highly.

Fabienne Perron

My daughter needed braces so after reading reviews about Ascent Dental Care I decided to book a first appointment.

It was 19 months ago.

My daughter had her braces removed last month and the result is superb! It exceeded her expectation.

The care is amazing.

All staff at reception make you feel really welcome and genuinely care about the clients.

Thank you

Stuart McDonald

We attended Ascent Dental for an emergency appointment for my two year old daughter. This was her first experience of visiting a dentist and everyone involved made it a calm, welcoming and non-traumatic experience. With thanks from two very relieved parents.

Dave Cunningham

Couldn’t fault this dentist. Chipped my tooth and they got me in same day to check if it could be fixed and even managed to fix it there and then, for a fraction of the price I was expecting. Dentist James was brilliant along with all the staff I encountered!

Denis Byrne

I recently had composite bonding treatment on my lower front teeth and i am very happy with the results.Laura was very professional and friendly and i would highly recommend this practice.

Sophie Scotchford

I have always been nervous to have Invisalign and visited Ascent Dental Care apprehensively, unsure if braces were right for me. Rachel and Gursh have both been incredibly lovely and put my mind at ease. The practice uses all the latest equipment (Dental Monitoring is the way forward!) which is allowing me to complete me treatment time far faster than elsewhere! So far I can not fault the team, thank you so much

Gemma Powell

A great dental practise. My retainers broke and within 30 minutes I had my retainer replaced. Very much appreciated due to going abroad next day.

Sasha Carter

An amazing journey from start to finish with Cassy. Im a nervous patient and I couldn’t have been made to feel any more comfortable. Cassy is down to earth, she put me at ease and has boosted my confidence by miles. Thank you to Nat too! ☺️

Lisa Thomas

After being scared of dentist for many years I booked appointment with ascent dental as I read they do iv sedation for nervous patients, yesterday I completed my course of treatment and everyone from the dentist and sedationist to the girls on reception were absolutely wonderful, all so kind and caring and made sure I was ok throughout. Brilliant dental practice would definitely recommend them to everyone.

Charlotte Rainey

My biggest fear – the dentist chair. After 4 attempts to have a filling i finally found a dentist who could actually make me feel relaxed enough to go through with it. Jas (the dentist) really was patient and amazing! Would never go anywhere else. Really do give 10/10 for all staff!
