Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used when a tooth needs reinforcement but still has enough healthy structure to avoid a full crown. They help restore strength while preserving as much natural enamel as possible.
Why it is
Inlays and onlays may be recommended for:
- Large cavities
- Structural weakness
- Cracked or worn biting surfaces
- Situations where a crown is not yet necessary
How it’s done
Your dentist will:
- Prepare the tooth gently
- Take a digital scan for the custom design
- Place a temporary restoration if needed
- Fit and adjust the final piece for comfort and stability
The result is a strong, natural-feeling surface that blends seamlessly into your bite.
