Do you need to repair a damaged or decayed tooth? If so, you should consider
restorative treatment with
porcelain inlays and onlays.
Porcelain inlays and onlays are a conservative alternative to traditional dental crowns. Also known as indirect fillings, they offer custom fitted, stronger, and longer lasting reparative solutions for tooth decay and damage. If you’re looking for a minimally invasive and healthy
tooth restoration method, make your next restorative dentistry appointment with

Porcelain inlays and onlays have both cosmetic and functional benefits. Inlays and onlays are made of tooth colored porcelain and can be used in place of traditional dental fillings and crowns to treat tooth decay and trauma. Dental fillings have to be molded into place but
porcelain inlays and onlays are fabricated indirectly in a dental lab before being fitted and bonded to your tooth. Inlays describe restorations that are bonded within the center of a tooth. Onlays describe restorations that require the inclusion of one or more points of the tooth or the full coverage of the tooth’s biting surface.
- Inlays and onlays are conservative and preserve more healthy tooth structure
- Inlays and onlays do not discolor over time
- Your teeth will be easier to clean with inlays and onlays
- Inlays and onlays are better at sealing teeth to keep out bacteria
- Inlays and onlays are extremely stable
- An onlay can protect the weakest areas of a damaged tooth
