Our goal is to restore not just your tooth, but your confidence in your smile.
Inlays and onlays
When teeth are damaged by decay or fractures, but not severely enough to need a crown, inlays and onlays provide an ideal solution. These custom-made restorations offer strength, durability, and a natural appearance while preserving more of your healthy tooth structure. At Oral Care Dental Clinic, we specialize in high-quality inlays and onlays that restore function and beauty to your smile. Our experienced team uses advanced materials and techniques to ensure your restoration blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are dental restorations often considered a middle ground between fillings and crowns.
- Inlays are used to repair damage within the cusps (the top edges) of a tooth. They fit neatly into the prepared cavity, similar to a filling but stronger and longer-lasting.
- Onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, making them suitable when the damage is more extensive. Sometimes called “partial crowns,” onlays cover and protect more of the tooth’s surface.
Both are crafted in a dental laboratory for precision and durability, then bonded to the tooth for a perfect fit.
Why Choose Inlays and Onlays?
Unlike traditional fillings, inlays and onlays provide enhanced strength and longevity. Compared to full crowns, they preserve more of your natural tooth. They are often recommended when:
- A tooth has moderate decay that cannot be restored with a simple filling
- A filling has failed or cracked
- A tooth requires additional strength without full coverage of a crown
- You want a long-lasting, natural-looking solution
