Dental Inlays & Onlays
A Strong, Long-lasting Solution
Dental inlays and onlays are a great option for repairing teeth that need a little more support than a filling can provide, but do not require a full crown. They are custom-made restorations designed to fit your tooth precisely, helping to restore strength while keeping as much of your natural tooth as possible.
When a tooth has moderate damage or decay, inlays and onlays offer a strong, long-lasting solution that looks and feels completely natural.
What’s the Difference?
- Inlays fit within the grooves of the tooth, similar to a filling but more durable
- Onlays extend over one or more of the raised edges of the tooth, offering extra coverage and protection
Both are carefully crafted to match the shape and shade of your tooth, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile.
When Inlays or Onlays May Be Recommended
- Damage or decay that is too extensive for a filling
- A cracked or weakened tooth that can still be preserved
- An older filling that needs a stronger, longer-lasting replacement
