What is a dental inlay/onlay?
A dental inlay is a custom-made restoration that fits into the grooves of a tooth, essentially repairing damage or decay within the cusps. An onlay, on the other hand, extends over one or more cusps of the tooth, providing additional coverage and strength. Both inlays and onlays are crafted from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, offering a robust and natural-looking repair.

Is there an alternative to dental crowns?
Yes, dental inlays and onlays are often used as an alternative to crowns when the damage isn’t extensive enough to warrant a full crown. These restorations provide a conservative treatment option that preserves more of your natural tooth structure while offering excellent durability and aesthetics.

How long does an inlay last?
The longevity of a dental inlay depends on factors such as the material used and your oral hygiene practices. With proper care, a dental inlay can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, making it a durable and cost-effective solution for restoring your smile.
