What Are Inlay and Onlay?
Inlay and Onlay fillings are ceramic or porcelain restorations used to repair teeth affected by decay, root canal treatments, or trauma by replacing the missing tooth structure.
When Are They Needed?
They are ideal when there is not enough tooth structure to support regular fillings, but the damage does not require a full crown.
What Are Their Benefits?
Inlays and Onlays preserve healthy tooth tissue, ensure contact with neighboring teeth, and prevent food accumulation, reducing the risk of dental problems.
How Are They Applied?
They are crafted using computer-aided systems to fit the missing parts without extensive tooth reduction, making them a cost-effective alternative to crowns.
