What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays repair a decayed or damaged tooth. These restorations are made of porcelain or another natural-looking material to offer seamless repair. We recommend dental inlays and onlays in Toluca Lake when the tooth damage is too severe for a filling, but not extensive enough to need a crown.
Another name for this restoration is a partial crown. The most common materials we use are gold, composite resin, or porcelain. We ensure that your personalized inlay or onlay suits your smile and effectively restores your tooth. The good news is that they conserve your natural tooth material, and are hardly noticeable once installed.
What is the Difference Between an Inlay and Onlay?
While onlays and inlays restore tooth damage, there is a key difference to note. We use an inlay to repair the tooth only when the damage does not affect the tooth’s cusps. When the damage extends to the cusps, then we must use an onlay.
