We\u2019re pretty certain you\u2019ve heard of porcelain crowns<\/a> before, but do you know anything about porcelain inlays and onlays<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a cosmetic<\/a>\/restorative<\/a> service available at Dr. Les Latner\u2019s Los Angeles dental office<\/a>, porcelain inlays<\/strong> and onlays<\/strong> can help you restore teeth suffering from decay or damage. That makes them similar to fillings and porcelain crowns, but you might think of them as an in-between solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Difference Between Inlays & Onlays?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite fulfilling a cosmetic-restorative function, though, inlays<\/strong> and onlays<\/strong> aren\u2019t interchangeable. They\u2019re very similar to each other, but they restore different parts of the smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inlays<\/strong> are specifically for restoring the small space on the top surface of the tooth, between the rounded edges known as the cusps. Because this area is indented and sees a lot of wear, it is particularly vulnerable to decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onlays<\/strong>, on the other hand, are designed to actually restore cusps instead of just merely restoring what\u2019s between them. They are a conservative option that lets Dr. Latner<\/a> preserve more of your natural tooth than something like a porcelain crown would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
