INLAYS AND ONLAYS

You can sometimes have inlays or onlays instead of fillings to repair damaged teeth. Fillings are soft to begin with and are moulded in the tooth which has been shaped to take and hold the filling. Inlays and onlays are made outside the mouth, usually in a dental laboratory, and then glued to the tooth in the surgery. An inlay sits in a hole in the tooth. An onlay sits on the tooth and builds up its shape. Inlays and onlays can be made in tooth-coloured porcelain, gold or a white filling material called composite. Different materials are suitable for different parts of the mouth and different parts of the teeth. Inlays and onlays are strong and can last longer than fillings They are especially suitable for the chewing surfaces of back teeth and for large repairs to front teeth, where it can be difficult to make a white filling look natural. Your dentist can match the colour to your other teeth.

Your dentist will:

1. Normally give you a local anaesthetic to numb the area

2. Remove any old filling material and any decayed or damaged tooth

3. Use a putty-like material to record the shape of the tooth being repaired and the teeth around it -this is called taking an “impression”

4. Give the impression to a dental technician to make the inlay or onlay

5. Use a temporary filling to protect the tooth that is being repaired while you wait for the inlay or onlay to be made

6. Glue the inlay or onlay in place on your next visit – the dentist may make small adjustments, so that the tooth is comfortable to bite on.

No one likes the dentist - right? Well in general that may be true, but the team at Mansion House Dental may go some way to changing your mind. Having neglected visiting for way too long, toothache (of course!) made me seek out a City-based dentist. On a recommendation from my friend I booked Mansion House Dental and was seen by Dr Qasim Abbasi. I've visited a few times in the last year. Professional, skilled and effective - all the things you would expect. But on top of that Dr Qasim has gone out of his way to make sure I am comfortable and clear about the treatment I am receiving. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you.

The guys at mansion house have done an amazing job giving me a great smile in time for my wedding. They delivered a complete service, including invisalign and manual tooth building work. They worked to a tight timeframe and really went above and beyond. Thanks so much guys.

Cannot recommend Dr Qasim Abbasi more highly. Thoroughly professional and clearly very knowledgable with respect to dental innovation. Recent experience of a front tooth cap procedure was not only pain free, but very successful aesthetically and exceeded my expectations. Competitively priced for such a central location. I would not hesitate to recommend the practice. Karen Stevenson.

Dr Qasim and the whole team at Mansion House Dental have been nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. They take the time to thoroughly explain everything that’s needed and really put an emphasis on preventative treatments, rather than rushing into work that might needn’t be done. Onto top of this, it’s is all done in such a calming and relaxed environment, which really helps put you at ease. Really cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again team.

Not usually a big fan of going to the dentist but M Abasi is really amazing. Makes this experience very enjoyable. Very nice practice. Thumbs up to the whole team

Great experience (and that is saying something as I am not someone who enjoys a trip to the dentist). Everything is explained prior to agreeing your treatment plan and, having had the necessary work completed now, I am very happy with the results and the aftercare (all included in the price). The whole team is friendly and professional and having tried a few dentists in the area I am happy to recommend the Mansion House Dental Practice. Overall excellent.

Was able to be booked in and treated with a very fast turn around. The treatment itself was of a very high quality. I'm very happy with the service and would highly recommend it even if it means travelling into the city.

As someone who isn't a fan of the dentist and had been going to the same practice for over 18 years, it's safe to say I was slightly apprehensive for my first visit last week. 5 minutes in and I realised there was no need to worry - Not only is Dr. Abbasi patient and friendly, every other member is welcoming and the practice itself feels nothing like your typical dentist. Highly recommend!

Really impressed with these guys. I was massively worried about the Invisalign process and the team here really put me at ease. Taking me through the process clearly and efficiently with no hard selling. When I first got my braces I kept panicking about every little thing and it was never a problem to drop in and speak to one of the experts who did everything to put me at ease. The team are so friendly and are happy to answer queries in person, by phone or email. The costs of treatment are clear with no nasty surprises. Can't recommend enough!
