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.

They did a phenomenal job and actually took the time to help instead of suggesting to pull all my teeth like previous dentists. For the first time in what feels like a decade I'm not embarrassed to smile, and it's all thanks to this wonderful team. If you are looking for a dentist, I implore you to come here. They are caring, helpful, and do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable.Posted on Rob BiggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

WHAT ARE ONLAYS AND INLAYS
- 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.
When a Crown Is Too Aggressive
Onlays conserve more healthy tooth than a full dental crown.
BENEFITS OF ONLAYS AND INLAYS
- Superior strength compared to typical fillings
- Custom precision fit for optimal function
- Natural-looking and colour-matched
- Less removal of tooth structure
- Long lifespan
- Excellent for restoring molars and premolars
- Resistant to staining and wear
TYPES OF ONLAYS AND INLAYS

Porcelain Onlays/Inlays
Strong, beautiful and ideal for highly visible and functional areas.

Ceramic Onlays/Inlays
Durable option suitable for patients who want metal-free restorations.

Composite Inlays (Select Cases)
