Inlays and Onlays
In Leesburg, FL
What are Inlays and Onlays?
- Inlays and onlays are types of restorative treatments used to repair rear teeth with mild to moderate decay or damage but do not need a full crown. An inlay fits within the cusps of the tooth, while an onlay covers one or more cusps or the entire biting surface of the tooth.
How Do Inlays and Onlays Work?
- Inlays and onlays are fabricated from porcelain or composite resin materials and are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. They are created from impressions of your damaged tooth to ensure a precise fit and bite. The restoration is then bonded to the tooth, restoring its natural shape and function.
