What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and Onlays are custom-made restorations designed to repair teeth affected by decay, fractures, or large fillings.
- Inlays are placed inside the grooves of a tooth, fitting snugly within the biting surface.
- Onlays extend to cover one or more cusps of the tooth, providing added protection for more extensive damage.
They are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin and bonded to your natural tooth, offering a seamless restoration that looks and functions like your original tooth.
Conditions Treated With Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are ideal for patients who need more than a traditional filling but want to preserve as much of their natural tooth as possible.
- Teeth with moderate decay or cavities
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Worn or weakened teeth due to aging or previous dental work
- Replacement of large, failing fillings
- Patients seeking long-lasting, natural-looking restorations
