Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays made of porcelain or gold are used to restore teeth with cavities and are a stronger alternative to tooth colored fillings. Inlays are placed on the top or chewing surface of the tooth and does not extend over the outer cusps. Onlays, like inlays are placed on the top of the tooth but also cover one or more cusps. Inlays and onlays made of porcelain will be custom color-matched to blend in with the tooth.
