Inlays & Onlays: Precision Restorations for Your Teeth
For teeth with moderate damage or decay, inlays and onlays offer a durable and seamless solution that restores both function and appearance.
At Masri Dental, Dr. Ahmad Almasri provides custom inlays and onlays designed to preserve your natural tooth structure while enhancing your smile.
What Are Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that repair teeth with damage too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a crown. Inlays fit within the tooth’s cusps, while onlays extend over one or more cusps for added protection.
Crafted from porcelain, gold, or composite resin, these restorations are strong, long-lasting, and blend naturally with your teeth.
Benefits of Inlays & Onlays
- Durability: Longer-lasting and stronger than traditional fillings.
- Natural Look: Custom-matched to your tooth color for a seamless appearance.
- Conservative Treatment: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure than crowns.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain inlays and onlays resist staining better than composite fillings.
How the Process Works
Dr. Almasri begins by removing the decayed portion of the tooth and taking a precise impression. A custom inlay or onlay is then crafted to fit perfectly. Once ready, the restoration is bonded to your tooth, creating a strong, natural-looking repair that restores function and protects your smile.
Is an Inlay or Onlay Right for You?
Inlays and onlays are ideal for restoring teeth with moderate decay or damage. They provide a conservative alternative to crowns while maintaining the integrity of your natural tooth.
