Porcelain Inlays & Onlays

Porcelain Inlays

The size and shape of a porcelain inlay is similar to that of a filling.  Both fit snugly inside the cusps of a tooth to replace the decayed part we removed.  The process of making an inlay, however, is more similar to a crown because both are crafted by CEREC in office CAD/CAM to precisely fit your tooth.

Porcelain Onlays

A porcelain onlay is fabricated to fit your tooth precisely and is bonded tightly in place to strengthen and protect the damaged tooth.  Like a crown, an onlay covers and protects the tooth’s biting surface.  Where a crown covers the entire tooth, an onlay fits inside the tooth cusps and covers only the biting surfaces.  Onlays are also fabricated and delivered in one appointment using our in-office CEREC CAD/CAM.
