What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations designed to repair moderate damage to a tooth without the need for a full crown. These restorations are often referred to as partial crowns due to their precision and ability to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
| • |
Inlays - Placed inside the cusps of a tooth to repair internal damage.
|
| • |
Onlays - Extend over one or more cusps to address more extensive damage while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.
|
| • |
Materials Used - Typically made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold, each material offers unique benefits like durability and aesthetics. |
These restorations can provide a more conservative option compared to crowns. They also closely match the natural color of your teeth, offering an aesthetically pleasing solution.
The Inlay and Onlay Procedure
The process of receiving an inlay or onlay begins with an initial consultation where our dental team examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and discusses the best restoration options tailored to your needs. During the next step, the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully cleaned and shaped to create a proper foundation for the inlay or onlay. Precise impressions of the prepared tooth are then taken to craft a custom restoration designed to fit perfectly. Once the inlay or onlay is ready, it is bonded securely to the tooth using a strong dental adhesive. Our team will work hard to ensure that the restoration fits comfortably and blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
