INLAYS AND ONLAYS
Our goal is to personalize a dental treatment program
to suit your individual needs.
Fourth canals are now routinely being located and completely debrided in virtually all molars, thus increasing the long-term success rate with root canal therapy.
When Inlays and Onlays May Be Recommended
Inlays and onlays may be recommended if you have:
- Damaged tooth
- Weak tooth that needs support
- Tooth that needs more than a filling
- Tooth that needs its shape restored
- Tooth at risk for further damage
Why Inlays and Onlays Are an Excellent Choice
Not every dental concern requires a full crown. Inlays and onlays provide a durable, conservative solution that preserves more of your natural tooth structure. Made from strong, tooth-colored materials, they blend seamlessly with your smile while restoring strength and function. They are designed to fit precisely, offering long-lasting protection and a natural appearance.
What Happens During Your Visit
During your visit, we will examine your tooth and review your concerns and treatment goals. If an inlay or onlay is the right option, we will prepare the area and take precise impressions for your custom restoration. Once it is ready, we will place and bond it securely to help restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance. The treatment is designed to be comfortable and provide lasting result.
