What are dental inlays and onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage. Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth, while onlays extend over one or more of the tooth’s cusps. Both are custom-made to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, and both provide a robust and durable solution that blends seamlessly with your smile.

What is the difference between a dental inlay and an onlay?
The main difference between a dental inlay and an onlay lies in the tooth they cover. Inlays are designed to fit within the grooves of a tooth, addressing damage between the cusps, while onlays extend over one or more cusps, covering a larger part of the tooth. Both options are used to restore the tooth’s function and appearance, and your dentist will recommend the best choice based on the extent of the damage.
