Inlays and Onlays

We use inlays and onlays when the cavitiy is too big for a filling, but to small for a crown. Inlays and onlays are available in gold and white porcelain or resin. They are different from fillings, since they are laboratory fabricated. An inlay is a filling within the cusp tips of the tooth. Onlays (or overlays) will overlay one or more cusps in order to protect and strengthen the tooth.
