Understanding Inlays and Onlays
When a filling is not sufficient but a full crown is not required, an inlay or onlay may restore the chewing surface of a tooth. Material and suitability vary with each case.
What to expect
Your care plan should be based on an in-person assessment. The following steps are common considerations, not a guarantee that every treatment is appropriate.
- Diagnosis of tooth damage
- Selection of an appropriate restoration
- Fit and bite check
Individualized care
Ask the dental team about expected benefits, alternatives, costs, risks and follow-up before making treatment decisions.
