Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with damage that is too extensive for a traditional filling but does not require a crown. Inlays are designed to fit within the grooves of a tooth, while onlays extend over one or more of the tooth’s cusps, providing added coverage and protection.
Dr. Leon and Dr. Watson use advanced materials like porcelain or composite resin to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These restorations are durable, functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Why Choose Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are excellent options for addressing specific types of tooth damage. Their benefits include:
- Enhanced Durability: Designed to withstand daily chewing forces.
- Minimally Invasive: Preserves more of your natural tooth compared to a crown.
- Seamless Appearance: Matches the color and shape of your teeth for a natural look.
- Long-Lasting Solution: Can provide reliable results with proper care.
- Improved Function: Restores the strength and function of your tooth.
These features make inlays and onlays a practical and effective choice for maintaining oral health and a confident smile.
