What’s an Inlay or Onlay?
At some point, a tooth may require more than simply a filling, but not a full dental crown. An inlay or an onlay may be recommended in this case. The inlays will be inserted in the cusps or grooves of the tooth, while the onlays will be placed on the very top. These restorations are long-lasting and made of high-quality materials, and they will return your tooth and smile to its former glory!
Dr. Young helped give me my dream smile. She is incredibly patient and truly listens to her patients. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Amazing staff and a great experience! Dr. Singh is a great doctor!
Friendly and knowledgeable from walking in the door and on the way out! I'm terrified of the dentist! I would recommend them to anyone who ask! And the are open Saturdays.
Great team dental assistants/dentist are so kind and nice would recommend this location if you want a good service .!!
Why are Inlays and Onlays Needed?
An inlay or onlay may be required if you have a large area of previous filling or a bigger cavity. The restoration may also be helpful if you only have a fracture or break on the very top of your tooth. When a full crown is placed, inlays and onlays protect the entire tooth from harm. They are more resilient than fillings and can last longer in general.
Who’s a Candidate for Inlays & Onlays?
Patients who require an inlay or onlay may be looking for a long-lasting restorative solution. These restorations feel natural and give excellent comfort since they are custom-made for the tooth. The procedure is simple and quick, making it suitable for people of all ages. After an examination, we can determine if and when you might need this restoration.
What is the Process for Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are long-lasting, durable restorations that require no more care than natural teeth. To ensure that your restoration lasts for years, all you need is daily brushing and flossing, as well as frequent professional cleanings at the dentist.
