What Are Inlays/Onlays?
Dentist Hoover
Inlays and onlays are dental restorations crafted to repair and reinforce teeth affected by decay or damage. Unlike traditional fillings, which are applied directly to the cavity, inlays and onlays are meticulously created in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth. An inlay is designed to fit within the central part of a tooth, while an onlay extends over a larger area, including one or more cusps. These restorations are ideal for replacing large, failing fillings or repairing fractured cusps and significant decay. They provide a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution that can last for many years with proper care.
