Inlays and Onlays
When it comes to restoring your teeth
Inlays and onlays are a durable and natural-looking option that bridges the gap between a filling and a crown.
What Are They?
Inlays and onlays are dental restorations made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold.
Inlays fit snugly within the grooves of your tooth, covering the area between the cusps.
Onlays extend beyond the grooves to cover one or more of the tooth’s cusps, offering extra reinforcement.
Both options are ideal for repairing moderate tooth damage, such as large cavities or fractures, while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Who Can Benefit?
Inlays and onlays are ideal for individuals who:
Have decay or damage that’s too extensive for a traditional filling but not severe enough to require a crown.
Want a restoration that blends with their natural teeth.
Prefer a long-lasting solution that can withstand daily wear and tear.
Your dentist will evaluate your specific needs to determine if this treatment is right for you.
What Does the Process Involve?
Getting an inlay or onlay at our practice typically involves two visits:
- First Visit: Your dentist will remove the damaged area, take a precise impression of your tooth, and place a temporary restoration.
- Second Visit: Your custom-made inlay or onlay is bonded to your tooth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
