What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?

Inlays and onlays are restorations that can replace large cavities or areas of decay damage. They are generally made from composite resins, porcelain, or gold to protect your teeth from further damage. An inlay is a restoration placed within the cusps, or bumps, of one or more teeth, while an onlay extends to cover one or more cusps. Onlays provide additional coverage for larger areas of decay or damage.

What oral issues are inlays and onlays designed to correct?

Inlays and onlays are used to correct various dental problems, including weakened teeth, large cavities, or broken fillings. They provide an aesthetically pleasing solution that is very strong and durable. In addition to restoring the original shape and appearance of your teeth, they can also improve tooth alignment.

What are the benefits of inlays and onlays?

Inlays and onlays can help protect your teeth from further damage and decay while restoring their natural appearance and function. They are designed to provide a comfortable bite by improving tooth alignment. In addition, they can last for many years if properly cared for and maintained, making them a great option for long-term dental restoration.

Who is a good candidate for inlays and onlays?

Inlays and onlays are typically recommended for patients with large areas of decay or damage that cannot be adequately repaired with traditional fillings. They are also used to replace broken or worn-down fillings and can help restore the natural shape and appearance of your teeth.
