Inlays & Onlays At Harbor Dental
Dental inlays and onlays are types of restorations typically recommended when the damage is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to require a crown. Inlays are used when the damage is within the cusps or bumps on a tooth, while onlays are used when the damage extends beyond one or more of the cusps.
Traditionally, an impression of your teeth is taken and the inlay or onlay is made in a special laboratory. But, with our same-day dentistry system, we make durable porcelain inlays and onlays right in our office while you wait. Temporary fillings and follow up appointments are a thing of the past. Learn about our same-day dental inlay and onlay system.
Inlays and onlays offer several benefits. They provide strength and stability to damaged teeth, often improving their structure by up to 75%. They’re also highly durable and can last many years with proper care. Additionally, they’re made from tooth-colored materials, providing a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
After receiving an inlay or onlay, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene practices to ensure the longevity of the restoration. This includes regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups and cleanings.
