Inlays & Onlays
An inlay is used in a similar way to a traditional filling but looks much more genuine. Inlays are used to repair the large chewing surface of a back tooth and to mend larger cavities where a conventional filling wouldn’t be strong enough. Often, inlays may replace traditional fillings that failed or fell out, since they are more durable.
An onlay is similar to an inlay, just a little larger. An onlay is necessary for a significant reconstruction, where it extends out over one or more cusps of the tooth. Onlays can repair a cavity right in the central part of the chewing surface, as well as one or more of the tooth cusps.
