Inlays and Onlays | Reardon Dental

When more than a third of a tooth’s biting surface is damaged, a dentist will often use inlays and onlays. Large fillings on back teeth often require a stronger and properly contoured restoration, such as porcelain inlays or onlays.

They are created at an off-site dental lab and are bonded into place using a strong resin. Inlays and onlays protect teeth similarly as crowns, but conserve more natural tooth structure and are a better match to your tooth’s natural color.
