How much does a ceramic inlay cost in Seoul? At Dentique Dental Clinic in Gangnam a ceramic inlay or onlay costs ₩300,000 per tooth (regular ₩400,000), and it can usually be completed in a single visit using digital scanning and in-clinic milling.
Inlay, onlay or crown?
An inlay fills a cavity inside the chewing surface. An onlay also covers one or more cusps. Both are made outside the mouth from ceramic and bonded in place, so they are stronger and longer-lasting than large resin fillings.
Because only the damaged part is replaced, more healthy tooth is preserved than with a full crown.

- Most of the tooth structure is missing
- The tooth has had a root canal

Aftercare

Same-day inlays in Seoul — FAQ
What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?

Can it be done in one day?
