Dental Inlays And Onlays

Dental inlays and onlays are also called indirect fillings, and both are used to repair a tooth’s chewing surface. An inlay fits into a tooth’s pits and grooves. An onlay is more extensive and is also called a partial crown. It covers one or more of a tooth’s cusps. Your dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay for teeth that are too damaged or decayed for a traditional filling but not advanced enough for a crown. If you have a cavity but not enough tooth structure to support a regular filling, you may receive an inlay or onlay instead. Onlays are routinely used to repair cracked teeth. Inlays and onlays are both used to fix damage caused by teeth grinding. We will be glad to discuss onlays and inlays and other options available to keep your smile a beautiful, happy one. We believe in an informed patient, and we promise to provide you with information regarding all aspects of your dental care. You can always count on our experienced, honest recommendation for the treatment best suited to your dental needs. Our goals are the same as yours—a healthy mouth and a brilliant smile. P.S. Gold, porcelain, and composite resin are all used to create dental inlays and onlays.
