Customized Restorations for Damaged or Decayed Teeth
What Are Inlays/Onlays?
Dentist Columbus
Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair teeth that have moderate decay or damage but do not require a full crown. They are typically made from porcelain, resin, or gold and are designed to fit precisely into the cavity of the tooth. Inlays are used for damage confined to the center of the tooth, while onlays are used for larger restorations that cover one or more cusps of the tooth. Both types of restorations are highly durable and are designed to blend with the natural tooth color, making them an excellent choice for visible teeth.
The process for receiving inlays or onlays typically requires two visits. During the first visit, one of our dentists will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and take an impression. This impression is sent to a lab to create a custom inlay or onlay. Once ready, the restoration is placed and bonded to the tooth during the second visit. Inlays and onlays restore the strength, functionality, and appearance of the tooth, offering a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.
