Dental inlays and onlays are an excellent solution for restoring teeth that have sustained damage but do not require a full crown. Often referred to as partial crowns, inlays and onlays help repair and replace damaged tooth structure while preserving most of your original tooth. They strengthen and protect the tooth from further harm and are crafted from tooth-colored materials to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful and natural-looking result.
Dental Inlays and Onlays: Difference
At Remington Family Dental, our dentists will evaluate your damaged tooth to determine whether an inlay or onlay is the most suitable option. Inlays are typically used for damage confined to the area between the cusps (the pointed parts of the tooth’s chewing surface). Onlays are used when the damage extends to one or more of the cusps.
Thanks to our advanced CEREC technology, we can design, create, and place your custom inlays or onlays in a single appointment, allowing you to leave with a renewed, healthy smile.
