Preserve and Strengthen Your Teeth with Dental Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are custom restorations designed to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage. They are often used when a filling isn’t sufficient, but the tooth doesn’t require a full crown. Made from durable materials like porcelain or composite, inlays and onlays restore strength and functionality while maintaining a natural appearance.
