What is an Inlay and Onlay?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. They are crafted from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin, and are designed to fit precisely into the prepared cavity of a tooth. Inlays are used to restore the chewing surface of a tooth, while onlays are employed to cover a larger portion of the tooth. 

 

This procedure is ideal for individuals with moderate to severe tooth decay or damage that cannot be effectively addressed with a traditional filling but doesn’t require a full dental crown. They are particularly suitable for patients who seek a conservative approach to tooth restoration.
