Customized Restorations for Damaged or Decayed Teeth
What Are Inlays/Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom dental restorations designed to repair and strengthen damaged or decayed teeth. Unlike traditional fillings, which are applied directly in the tooth, inlays and onlays are crafted in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth. An inlay is used to fill cavities within the central part of the tooth, while an onlay covers a larger area, including one or more cusps. These restorations are ideal for addressing issues such as large, failing fillings, fractured cusps, or extensive decay. They provide a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution that can last for many years with proper care.
