Customized Restorations for Damaged or Decayed Teeth
Inlays and onlays are durable dental restorations that offer a strong alternative to full-coverage crowns and traditional fillings. Unlike fillings, which are applied in a single visit, inlays and onlays are custom-fabricated in a dental lab and bonded to the tooth. An inlay fits within the tooth’s center, while an onlay covers a larger area, including one or more cusps. Ideal for replacing large, failing restorations or addressing fractured cusps, they can last many years with proper care. Inlays and onlays preserve a healthier tooth structure, maintain a natural tooth color, and prevent bacterial infiltration and decay, providing a superior fit and enhancing strength and stability while facilitating easier cleaning and maintenance.
