If you have a damaged or decayed tooth that requires restoration, dental inlays and onlays may be the solution you need. Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that are placed on the surface of a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. Unlike fillings, which are placed directly into the cavity, inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental laboratory and then bonded to the tooth surface.

Dental inlays and onlays are types of restorations that are used to repair teeth that have been damaged or decayed. Inlays are designed to fit within the contours of the tooth, while onlays are designed to cover the entire surface of the tooth. Both types of restorations are made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, or composite resin.

During your second visit, your dentist will bond the inlay or onlay to your tooth using a special adhesive. The restoration will be carefully shaped and polished to ensure a comfortable and natural-looking fit.
