Inlays and Onlays
 An
inlay is similar to a filling and is used inside the cusp
tips of the tooth. An onlay is a more substantial reconstruction,
similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of
the cusps of the tooth.
Inlays and onlays can be made of porcelain, gold, or composite
resin. Porcelain inlays mimic enamel's translucency and color,
making them attractive choices for patients. Gold alloy inlays
and onlays possess greater durability and better resist tarnishing
and corrosion.
Benefits of Dental Inlays and Onlays:
- Increase the strength of a tooth with
respect to fillings
- Alternative to an entire crown when teeth
damage is not extensive
- Porcelain inlays/onlays does not change
color over time
