Inlays/Onlays

DJT_Inlay-Onlay-01Inlays and onlays are ideal treatment methods when patients present with mild to moderate tooth decay. Inlays and onlays are custom fillings made from pre-fabricated porcelain or resin, and serve as a conservative alternative to complete crowns. The filling is considered an inlay when only the center of the tooth is involved, while an onlay occurs when the biting surface is included.
Benefits of Inlays/Onlays:
  • Aesthetically pleasing
  • Tooth preservation
  • Durability

Flippers
