What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom restorations that fit perfectly into or over the damaged portion of a tooth. Inlays are placed within the cusps (top edges) of a tooth, while onlays cover a larger area, extending over one or more cusps.
Made from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin, inlays and onlays provide both strength and a natural appearance, making them an excellent choice for restoring your smile.
Benefits of Choosing Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays offer numerous advantages. For example, they are highly durable and can withstand more pressure from chewing, making them ideal for molars and other heavily used teeth.
Since they are custom-made, inlays and onlays provide an exact fit, helping to preserve the tooth structure and reduce the risk of future damage. Additionally, these restorations blend beautifully with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result that enhances your smile.
Caring for Your Inlays and Onlays
Caring for inlays and onlays is simple and similar to maintaining natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help keep your restorations in excellent condition. With proper care, inlays and onlays can last for many years.
