When Patients Need Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes a regular filling is not enough to repair a tooth, especially in back molars that do most of the chewing. If left untreated, decay or cracks can lead to pain, infection or even the need for more complex treatment.
You may benefit from an inlay or onlay:
-
When a filling is not enough to restore strength to a damaged or decayed tooth.
-
When a tooth is cracked or worn down, especially molars that handle heavy chewing.
-
When you want to preserve more of your natural tooth without needing a full crown.
-
When precision and durability matter, with restorations custom-made for a perfect fit.
-
When you want trusted local care that provides lasting, natural-looking results with clear advice and no hidden costs.
