Repairing teeth
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations for teeth with more damage than a filling can handle but not enough to need a full crown.
What a consultation may cover
- How much of the tooth is affected
- Whether a filling, onlay or crown makes more sense
- Material options
What to expect
The tooth is prepared and an impression or scan is taken. The restoration is made to fit, then bonded in place.
Things to know
Whether an inlay or onlay is possible depends on the tooth. Your dentist will explain the trade-offs.
Questions to ask your dentist
- Why an onlay instead of a crown?
- Is a temporary needed while it's made?
General information, not medical advice. Your dentist can advise what suits you.
