Inlay and Onlay Restorations
|
Inlay
|
When a tooth has a large cavity due to fractures, large cracked fillings, or
extensive decay, an Inlay or Onlay may be necessary. Made of porcelain or
fortified composite, Inlays and Onlays are esthetically beautiful and can
help enhance your smile white affording excellent protection to the tooth
being restored. Inlays and Onlay protect and strengthen a tooth
similar to a crown but require minimal tooth structure reduction like a
filling.
Inlays/onlays will last approximately 15-30 years depending on factors such as the original condition of your teeth and your biting/chewing forces. |
Failing Silver Fillings replaced by inlays.
