Dental Inlays and Onlays
We offer dental inlays and onlays as a conservative treatment option that preserves as much of your natural tooth as possible, while restoring strength and function. These restorations are perfect for teeth that have suffered moderate decay or damage that doesn’t warrant a full crown.
Dental Inlays and Onlays in Waukesha, WI
Dental inlays and onlays are types of restorative treatments that are used to repair rear teeth with mild to moderate decay or fractured teeth that are not sufficiently damaged to require a crown. An inlay is similar to a filling and fits within the cusp tips (top edges) of the tooth. An onlay is a more substantial reconstruction that extends over the cusps of the treated tooth. Both options are made from durable materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or gold.
Benefits of Dental Inlays and Onlays
- Durability: Inlays and onlays are made from tough, durable materials that strengthen teeth and last longer than traditional fillings.
- Conservation of Tooth Structure: Unlike crowns, which require significant reshaping of the tooth, inlays and onlays preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Made from materials that match the natural color of your teeth, inlays and onlays blend seamlessly, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
- Fit and Comfort: Inlays and onlays are custom-fitted to your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal functionality.
