Customized Restorations for Damaged or Decayed Teeth
Dentist Carmel
Inlays and onlays are durable dental restorations used instead of full crowns or fillings to treat tooth decay. Crafted in a dental lab for precise fitting, inlays fit within the center of a tooth, while onlays cover the tooth’s cusps. They offer long-lasting solutions for large, failing restorations, lost fillings, or fractured cusps, preserving healthy tooth structure. Benefits include natural tooth color retention, superior fit preserving more of the tooth, tight seal against bacteria, and added strength. These restorations require minimal tooth preparation and provide enhanced protection for weakened teeth without extensive reshaping.
