What are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth—when the damage is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to require a full crown. Inlays fit within the grooves of the tooth’s chewing surface, while onlays extend over one or more of the tooth’s cusps. Both options help preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
How Do Inlays and Onlays Help and What Are the Benefits?
Inlays and onlays provide a strong, aesthetic, and conservative alternative to crowns and fillings:
- Restore strength and function to damaged teeth.
- Made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin.
- Blend naturally with your tooth color.
- Preserve more natural tooth structure than crowns.
- Resistant to staining and wear.
- Provide a precise, comfortable fit.
