Inlay & Onlay in Turkey: Cost, Procedure & Patient Reviews
Inlays and onlays are laboratory-fabricated ceramic restorations that sit between fillings and crowns in the spectrum of tooth restoration. For large cavities where a filling would not be strong enough but a full crown would be overkill, inlays and onlays are the conservative, long-lasting middle ground — and for UK and Irish patients flying to Antalya they are often the ideal solution for heavily restored back teeth.
Inlay vs onlay — the difference
An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, replacing the lost part of the biting surface without extending over the cusps. An onlay covers one or more of the cusps (the peaks of the tooth) as well, giving greater protection for heavily damaged teeth. Both are made in the lab from ceramic — usually E-max or zirconium — and bonded into place.
Inlay & Onlay Before & After in Turkey
When inlay/onlay is the right answer
Inlays and onlays are ideal when a tooth has a large cavity or an old failing amalgam that is too big for a direct composite filling, but the tooth is not broken enough to need a full crown. They preserve more natural tooth than a crown would, distribute bite force safely, and tend to last longer than a large filling.
How treatment works
Inlay/onlay cases are usually completed in a single Antalya trip of 5–7 days. Day one arrival. Day two examination, preparation and digital scan. Days three and four in-house ceramist fabrication. Day five or six fitting and bonding. Day seven departure. Multiple inlays/onlays in one visit are common for patients replacing old amalgams across several teeth.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely life-changing experience – I cannot recommend Amazing Smiles highly enough!From the moment I stepped off my flight in Antalya, I was welcomed by the lovely, smiling Kadir – our dedicated driver who looked after me so carefully across both my trips. He was always on time, warm and kind, making every journey between the hotel and clinic completely stress-free.As someone who is usually very nervous and finds dentists extremely difficult, I was so anxious about this whole process – but Dr Gamze changed everything. She is an exceptional dentist: so gentle, patient and understanding, never rushing me and taking all the time I needed to feel at ease. Her wonderful assistant Humaira was equally amazing – so thoughtful and attentive, I simply cannot thank her enough.Then there is Alina – quite simply the best coordinator anyone could wish for. She looked after me with such care, explained every single step in perfect English, and made sure I understood every detail of my treatment plan. Watching how she looked after other patients too, with the same kindness and professionalism, showed me how special this whole team really is.My journey has spanned three months: my first visit back in February, then returning home to wait for healing, before heading back recently to finish everything. It felt like no time at all thanks to how well supported I was throughout. I am absolutely delighted with the final result – it is everything I hoped for and more.Thank you to every single person at Amazing Smiles for your kindness, patience and brilliant work. If you have any questions about my experience, or would like me to explain anything in more detail, please do ask – I would be only too happy to help anyone thinking of choosing this wonderful clinic.
I am very happy with the results with Amazing smile turkey .Aleena was truly amazing and was with me the entire time with support and care. . My Dentist Gamze is exceptional at her job.The care from all the from all the staff was incredible.I would highly recommend here and especially my Dentist Gamze and Aleena .Thank you all so much 🙏💕🙌🫶

Our implant restorations have the appearance of natural teeth.
