Dental Inlays & Onlays Overview

If your tooth has become too damaged by dental decay to be restored by a normal dental filling but not enough to require a dental crown, our dentists may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. This restorative treatment helps you retain as much of your undamaged tooth tissue as possible for a more natural fix. Learn more about dental inlays and onlays in Temecula, California, by calling our office at 951-695-6269 and scheduling a visit with Dr. K. Pat Brown or Dr. Matthew Wasemiller.

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that are used to repair damage or decay. If the damage is not extensive enough to warrant the use of a dental crown but is too serious to be repaired with a filling, our experienced dentists may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. Also known as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are custom created from porcelain, composite resin material or gold. Our dentists will ensure that your custom inlay or onlay perfectly fits your tooth to restore the health, function and appearance of your smile. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth and conserve much of your natural tooth structure.

Both inlays and onlays are used to restore damaged teeth. The difference between a dental inlay and a dental onlay is that an inlay is used when the damage does not reach the cusps of the tooth, while a dental onlay is used when the damage extends to one or more of the cusps. We will help you determine whether you need a dental inlay or onlay to restore your smile.

We welcome you to call or visit us today to learn more about dental inlays and onlays. We are eager to restore your smile!
