Dental inlays and onlays are custom-fitted restorative solutions designed to repair moderate tooth damage that cannot be effectively treated with fillings but does not require a full crown. Our dentist and team excel in the precision crafting and placement of inlays and onlays, using materials that closely match the natural color of your teeth. These restorations offer a conservative approach to dental repair, preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible while restoring strength and function.
The process begins with the removal of the damaged or decayed areas of the tooth. An impression of the tooth is then made to ensure the inlay or onlay fits perfectly. An inlay fits within the contours of the tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more of the cusps of the tooth. Once crafted, the inlay or onlay is securely bonded to the tooth and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing repair.
Benefits of dental inlays and onlays include:
- Strong, long-lasting repairs for teeth with moderate decay or damage
- Preservation of more natural tooth structure compared to crowns
- Superior fit and aesthetics, with a reduction in the risk of further decay
- Enhanced durability and resistance to biting forces
