GUM DISEASE TREATMENT IN AIRDRIE
When a tooth has more damage than a simple filling can repair — but doesn’t require the full coverage of a crown — onlays and inlays offer the perfect middle-ground solution. At Kingsview Dental in Airdrie, we use durable, natural-looking ceramic and porcelain restorations designed for strength, precision and long-lasting protection.
With over 470 5-star Google reviews, advanced technology and a team experienced in restorative dentistry since 2009, Kingsview Dental proudly provides high-quality, conservative restorations for patients throughout Kingsview, Kings Heights, Ravenswood, Meadowbrook, Lanark, Thorburn, Coopers Crossing, Bayside, Reunion, Sagewood, Midtown, Luxstone, Stonegate, Waterstone, and beyond.
A STRONG, CONSERVATIVE SOLUTION TO RESTORE DAMAGED TEETH
When a tooth is damaged by decay or fracture but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays and onlays offer an ideal restorative solution. These custom restorations are designed to repair and reinforce weakened areas while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
At Kingsview Dental, inlay and onlay treatments are provided under the care of Dr. Kinjal Patel, who takes a conservative, precision-focused approach to restorative dentistry. Crafted from high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials, inlays and onlays are:
Stronger and more durable than composite fillings
More conservative than full crowns, preserving healthy tooth structure
Natural-looking, blending seamlessly with your smile
Long-lasting and stain-resistant
By restoring strength and function without unnecessary removal of tooth structure, inlays and onlays strike the perfect balance between durability, aesthetics, and tooth preservation—helping protect your smile for years to come.
Wondering if an inlay or onlay is right for your tooth? Call Kingsview Dental today or book your consultation online with Dr. Kinjal Patel to explore conservative, long-lasting restorative options. We’re here to help you restore your smile with confidence.

- Inlays repair the chewing surface between the tooth’s cusps.
- Onlays cover one or more cusps, restoring larger damaged areas.
WHEN ONLAYS OR INLAYS ARE RECOMMENDED
Large Cavities
When a filling would be too large to safely support the tooth.
Fractured or Worn Teeth
Onlays restore structural strength while maintaining natural tooth anatomy.
Replacing Failing Fillings
Old, cracked or leaking fillings are often better replaced with a stronger restoration.

Onlays conserve more healthy tooth than a full dental crown.
