Inlays/Onlays

Inlays and onlays are high-precision, custom-designed restorations used to repair and strengthen teeth that have been damaged, decayed, or compromised by previous dental work. Unlike traditional fillings, which are applied directly into a tooth, inlays and onlays are meticulously crafted in a dental laboratory to fit the exact contours of your tooth, restoring both its functional capacity and natural appearance. An inlay is designed to fit entirely within the grooves of the tooth to reinforce the internal structure, while an onlay extends to cover one or more cusps, providing essential coverage for teeth with more significant structural compromise.

These restorations are the ideal solution for cases where a traditional filling might not provide sufficient strength, such as fractured cusps or large cavities. Crafted from durable, high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin, inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color for a discreet, aesthetically pleasing result. By serving as a conservative alternative to full dental crowns, they allow us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure while delivering long-term protection, improved bite function, and a resilient smile.
