Ceramic inlays and onlays, also known as partial crowns, are precision-crafted dental restorations primarily designed for posterior teeth. These sophisticated porcelain restorations offer unique advantages that make them the optimal choice for specific clinical cases. At Istar, we combine advanced fabrication techniques with premium ceramic materials to create custom inlays and onlays that deliver exceptional fit, aesthetics, and durability for your patients.
Istar offers two premium ceramic inlay options – Zirconia and E.max – to meet your diverse clinical requirements.
Featuring exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility, these restorations boast an impressive flexural strength of 1400 MPa, ensuring long-term durability and superior resistance to posterior masticatory forces.
These porcelain inlays and onlays deliver natural-looking translucency and color matching, making them the preferred choice for aesthetically demanding cases, particularly in visible areas of the dental arch.
As a modern digital dental laboratory serving dental professionals across 30+ countries and regions, Istar has helped over 150 dental practices enhance their operational efficiency and patient satisfaction.
Our excellence stems from a combination of cutting-edge technology and rigorous quality control. Our team of nearly 300 skilled technicians operates state-of-the-art equipment, including 3D printers, 5-axis milling machines, and smart temperature-controlled porcelain furnaces, ensuring exceptional precision and consistency in every restoration.
We pride ourselves on delivering service excellence that matches our product quality. As your dedicated partner, we provide comprehensive after-sales support and technical assistance. Our expert team stands ready to assist you with any challenges, ensuring your practice’s success with every case.
Istar can also work with intraoral scan data you provide to create dentures. Compared to fixed dental prosthetics, the process of designing and manufacturing removable dentures using intraoral scan data is actually simpler. This is because they do not require crown design—only the dental model needs to be designed and printed.
Despite our location in China, we maintain efficiency comparable to local suppliers. Depending on case complexity, our standard turnaround time is 7-10 days. Track your orders in real-time, with expedited options available to meet your scheduling needs.
See what our clients say about ceramic inlays and onlays.
Both are custom-made ceramic restorations designed to repair tooth decay or damage. Inlays typically restore damage within the cusps of the tooth’s chewing surface, while onlays extend to cover one or more cusps when there’s more extensive damage.
These restorations may be ideal if you have decay or damage that’s too extensive for traditional fillings but doesn’t require a full crown. They’re particularly suitable for molars and premolars. However, only your dentist can determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.
Your dentist will prepare the affected tooth and create detailed impressions. These can be taken either through traditional impressions or digital scanning technology, which provides precise data for fabrication. A temporary restoration will protect your tooth while your custom inlay or onlay is being crafted in our laboratory.
With proper oral hygiene and care, ceramic inlays and onlays can provide 15-30 years of service. Regular brushing, flossing, and avoiding hard foods like ice or hard candy will help maintain their condition. Your dentist will provide specific care instructions based on your restoration.
Istar is a professional dental laboratory that works exclusively with dental practitioners. If you’re interested in our ceramic restorations, please discuss this option with your dentist, who can partner with us for your treatment.
