Inlays & Onlays
Dental Inlays are custom-made fillings created to fit the specific shape and size of a cavity within the chewing surface of a tooth. They are created outside the mouth and then securely bonded into place. Inlays are typically utilized when the damage to a tooth does not require the use of a full dental crown.
Dental Onlays, also known as partial crowns, are similar to inlays but are designed to cover a larger area of the tooth. They extend over one or more of the chewing cusps, providing a more extensive restoration for teeth that have sustained moderate damage or decay.
