A Conservative Solution Between Fillings And Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a standard filling but does not require a full crown, an inlay or onlay can be the ideal solution.
An inlay fits within the grooves of the tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps to provide additional coverage and support.
These restorations are custom made in a dental laboratory to match the exact shape of your tooth, allowing for a precise fit and improved durability.
This approach helps maintain as much natural tooth structure as possible while restoring strength.
