Custom-crafted restorations that preserve your natural tooth structure while delivering crown-like strength
Inlays and onlays are precision-fabricated dental restorations used to repair moderate tooth damage. Often called “indirect fillings,” they’re custom-made in our dental laboratory using advanced CAD/CAM technology to fit your tooth perfectly.
Inlays fit within the cusps (raised points) of your tooth, similar to a traditional filling but with superior fit and durability.
Onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, providing coverage for more extensive damage while still preserving healthy tooth structure that would be removed for a crown.
Do You Need Ceramic Inlays and Onlays?
You may be a candidate for an Inlay or Onlay treatment if you have:
Moderate tooth decay that's too extensive for a filling but doesn't require a crown
Fractured or cracked teeth with adequate remaining structure
Old, failing fillings that need replacement
Teeth requiring reinforcement to prevent further damage
A desire for long-lasting, aesthetic restorations
Worn teeth from grinding or clenching that need protection and restoration
