Inlays and Onlays in Seoul – Restore Damaged Teeth Conservatively at Seoul Today Dental Clinic

At Seoul Today Dental Clinic, we understand that not every tooth needs a crown—and not every cavity can be fixed with a simple filling. That’s where inlays and onlays come in: a strong, natural-looking solution that sits right in the middle, restoring your tooth while preserving as much of it as possible.

Whether you have a large cavity, a cracked chewing surface, or an old filling that’s failing, our English-speaking dentists will help you choose the right restoration with honesty, clarity, and care.

“They told me I didn’t need a full crown—just an onlay. I appreciated the conservative approach.”

We hear this often from patients who feel nervous about losing too much tooth structure. Inlays and onlays allow us to protect and reinforce your tooth without over-treating it. It’s a perfect balance between durability and conservation.


What Are Inlays and Onlays?

  • Inlays fill the space between the cusps (ridges) of your tooth, often where a large cavity or filling used to be.
  • Onlays cover one or more cusps, repairing more of the biting surface—sometimes called a “partial crown.”

Both are custom-made, bonded securely to your natural tooth, and typically made of porcelain, zirconia, or composite for a seamless look and long-lasting function.


 When Are Inlays and Onlays Recommended?

  • You have a large cavity that’s too big for a filling
  • You’ve chipped or cracked a molar
  • You want to replace an old metal filling
  • You want to avoid a full crown if possible
  • You grind your teeth and need a stronger restoration
