Inlays and onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used when a tooth needs more support than a filling but doesn’t require a full crown. They help strengthen the tooth while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
We explain why this treatment is recommended, outline your material options, and review the steps so everything feels clear.

Why inlays & onlays matter
They offer a balanced approach: strong enough to reinforce the tooth, but conservative enough to avoid unnecessary removal of healthy enamel.

We remove damaged areas, take impressions or scans, and place a custom restoration that fits securely. Each step is explained in plain language.
