Best of all, we can complete most inlay and onlay procedures in just one visit, saving you time and helping you get back to your daily routine faster.
What Are Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are both types of dental restorations used to repair moderate decay or damage in the back teeth (molars and premolars). They are similar to fillings but offer more comprehensive coverage for the tooth structure.
- Inlays: Used when the decay is confined to the grooves or cusps of the tooth, usually within the confines of the tooth’s natural surface.
- Onlays: Larger restorations that cover more extensive areas, extending over the top and sides of the tooth, often used when damage or decay is more widespread.
