About This Service
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that fit precisely into or onto a damaged tooth. They offer a conservative alternative to full crowns while providing superior strength and durability compared to traditional fillings. Perfect for moderate to extensive decay or damage, inlays fit within the cusps of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Both are crafted from high-quality materials that match your natural teeth.
