If Dr. Puerto discovers that you have a mild to moderate decay on the back teeth or a damaged tooth that cannot support a tooth filling, she may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. This is are a conservative treatment and can go a long way to preventing a minor problem from becoming worse, ultimately requiring more invasive dental treatment.
Inlays and Onlays are composed of strong porcelain and are bonded to the affected areas of the teeth. These tooth restorations treatments can help conserve more of your natural tooth than traditional dental crowns and can also be shaded to match your natural tooth color. They look very natural and can even be used to correct mild cracks and fractures.
Before you head into a dental inlays and Onlays procedure, it’s important to first understand the difference between an inlay and an Onlay. Dental inlays and Onlays offer similar benefits and are both excellent alternatives to dental crowns. The only major difference between the two is that each option covers different parts of a tooth.
