What Are Inlays/Onlays?
Dentist Davenport
Inlays and onlays are custom dental restorations designed to repair and strengthen teeth affected by damage or decay. Unlike traditional fillings, which are applied directly to the tooth, inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth. An inlay is used to address cavities within the central part of the tooth, while an onlay covers a larger area, including one or more cusps. These restorations are particularly effective for treating issues like large, failing fillings, fractured cusps, or significant decay. They offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution that can last for many years with proper care.
Benefits of Inlays/Onlays
Natural Appearance
Inlays and onlays are made from materials that match the natural color of your teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing restoration.
Durability
These restorations are highly durable and can withstand normal chewing forces, making them a long-lasting solution for damaged or decayed teeth.
Preservation of Tooth
Structure
Inlays and onlays require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure compared to crowns, helping to preserve more of your natural tooth.
