Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used when a filling isn't enough, but a crown isn't necessary. They restore strength and appearance to damaged or decayed teeth while preserving more natural tooth structure.
We take an impression and create a custom porcelain or composite piece to restore a damaged tooth. Inlays fit inside the tooth; onlays cover the cusp. They’re more durable than fillings.
Repairs moderately damaged teeth with custom restorations stronger than fillings. Helps restore chewing function and appearance without needing a full crown.
