Inlays vs Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are used in molar or premolars, when the tooth has experienced too much damage to support a basic filling, but not so much damage that a crown is necessary. The key comparison between them is the amount and part of the tooth that they cover.Â
An inlay will incorporate the pits and fissures of a tooth, mainly encompassing the chewing surface between the cusps. An onlay will involve one or more cusps being covered. If all cusps and the entire surface of the tooth is covered then it is known as a crown.Â
For patients struggling with fillings or tooth decay, inlays and onlays offer a discreet and permanent alternative to the unsightly metal dental work of the past.
With their sleek design and same-day placement, inlays and onlays are an increasingly popular solution to many common problems.
Inlays and Onlays don’t shrink and are also extremely durable and stable.
