There are two stages to the process of getting inlays and onlays, which differs from a routine filling. The damaged tooth and the surrounding gum will be numbed so that patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
A mould will be taken from an impression of your damaged tooth. This will then be used as a guide for a cast. The cast is used to produce the inlays or onlays.
The second stage will involve the fitting of the inlay or onlay. Your dentist will check the fitting before securing the porcelain inlay or onlay in place with a bonding material. Your dentist will make any minor adjustments and polish the tooth so that it looks completely natural. 
There are no disadvantages to be seen when you get a decayed or damaged tooth treated by your dentist. Neglecting dental concerns like these will only lead to further damage, more advanced decay and the potential for losing the tooth entirely.
There are a number of advantages to considering inlays and onlays versus crowns and other potential options. The first is that inlays and onlays can be a much more budget-friendly solution to protecting your tooth.
Inlays and onlays offer the strength and durability that you are looking for, while also providing a wholly natural look once they are in place.
If a tooth is treated with a simple composite filling, but is in need of further protection, there are good odds that the structure of the tooth will be compromised. When compared to a filling that is a composite inlays and onlays provide much more strength and protection to the integrity of the tooth itself.
Your dental work can be kept clean in the same way that you keep your natural teeth clean. Brush and floss after each meal and be sure to use a quality mouth rinse. Keep up with your regular dental checkups and keep your oral health care one of your main healthcare priorities. -
Very responsive to my emails, very informative too. Based on really good reviews I booked my first visit there and I could not be happier. Erika was really nice and the treatment went very smooth.

Done, two teeth filling here. Second one they had to redo because of their fault. During that second time I had to ask to stop drilling several times, because my jaw started uncontrollable spasms. After this rework pain became unstoppable and I had to remove nerves during vacation (spent 3 days for that). That doctor admitted that both fillings were made without the cofferdam, for cavities under them to grow and need to be redone. Also they've missed a big smelly cavity next to that tooth even while having 3!!! X-rays of that area. I don't recommend doing fillings there, because you will need to return soon for their upsale of veneer or expensive nerve removal. Also they are not cheap by any means.

April 24, 2023I would highly recommend. As someone who hates the dentist and put off going for years, I can say that going to Crown Dental is probably the best dental experience I've ever had. I am a very nervous patient, but Dr. Joanna is a brilliant dentist who really put me at ease.

I just had a visit with Dr Joanna today for a routine clean and to ask about veneers . during the consultation she noticed something more sinister with an infection that's been going on for over 15yrs . she was so informative,caring and really listened to all my questions and worries. most dentists I find are just there to make money but I found wirh joanna that she really wanted to help and not rush into veneers when there was concerns with my gums I may have a longer road then expected but I know I'm in good hands 🙏

January 2, 2021I have been attending Crown dental for many years now. I am impressed by the professionalism and high standards every time I visit Crown Dental. All treatments have been explained to me before the treatments, and the team made sure to put me at ease. I cannot thank Crown Dental enough, and would recommend them to everyone.

Myself and my family has seen Dr. Erika Barta regularly. Crown Dental helped our family in many ways, we always attend for regular check-ups and cleanings. And also got implants and bridges done by Crown Dental. The staff is very helpful and professional. The environment is very relaxed, you don't feel going to the dentist 🙂 . I always recommend the clinic to my friends.

November 14, 2020I've been a patient at Crown Dental for over 6 years. When I was younger I played professional Rugby and lost a good number of my front teeth due to a freak-accident (knee in the face). For years I had a denture, which was a hassle to eat with. It also made me self conscious in social interactions, until I could bare it no longer. Crown Dental was recommended to me and it literally changed my life in so many ways! Over this period I had 4 implants, 5 crowns, 1 bridge and several root canals done, along with a couple of fillings and cleanings. I now have an amazing smile that all my friends and family are complimenting me about, it restored my confidence and gave me a brighter outlook on life. Thank you Dr. Erika for changing my life.

May 1, 2019Getting an Invisalign treatment done here. Erika and her assistant are extremely nice people, not once did I ever feel pressured into forking out lots of money like at other dentists. I would 100% recommend family and friends to at least have a check up here and you'll see that it's a positive and professional experience all round.

I went for a check up at Crown Dental two weeks ago, after looking at my teeth for approximately 30 seconds the dentist told me I had been grinding my teeth therefore needing a mouthguard/splint and had three cavities. I was shocked as I had no prior issues with my teeth and was not experiencing any sensitivity. I was very distressed that my teeth had deteriorated so rapidly I wanted to get a second opinion. I went to a different dentist in Dublin and I was told my teeth were 100% fine. Therefore I would NOT recommend visiting this dentist.

May 1, 2021I was always scared of the dentist, but not anymore. I received my crowns at Crown Dental, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The treatment was pain free, the team made me at ease during the process. I can't stop smiling and showing my perfect teeth.

Cosmetic Treatments
If your teeth are stained, chipped or broken, discoloured, worn down, crooked, have an irregular shape, or have gaps between them, cosmetic dental treatments can help
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns have become the standard for the protection of repaired teeth. They are durable, offer a wholly natural look, and will help to keep you smiling for many good years to come.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are an ultra-thin shell made from porcelain or a composite material. They are made to fit each tooth. Once each shell has bonded in place to each tooth veneers look natural and offer the same strength as a natural tooth would.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a chemical process that works to remove surface and deep-surface stains on teeth. Professional teeth whitening include a whitening agent that breaks down to target the stains that are causing tooth discolouration giving you a sparkling white smile.
Options for Missing Teeth
If you are missing one or more teeth, the sooner you act the better. This will avoid bone regression as well as the other teeth moving. The treatment options are dental implants, dental bridges and dentures.
