Inlays & Onlays
What is Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom restorative dental treatments used to repair teeth affected by moderate decay, fractures, or structural damage. These restorations are designed to strengthen and protect teeth that are too damaged for a traditional filling but do not require a full dental crown. Inlays fit within the grooves of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps to provide additional coverage and support.
Patients may need inlays or onlays when teeth become weakened by large cavities, cracked fillings, or minor fractures. These restorations help preserve healthy tooth structure while restoring strength, function, and appearance. At Pro Dental Centers, inlays and onlays are crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with the smile while supporting long-term oral health and comfort.
