Inlays and onlays are a type of dental restoration that is used to repair a broken-down tooth or may replace an existing large filling. Inlays are designed for tooth damage affecting the indented portion of the top of the tooth and onlays are for more extensive damage. They are used when the damage is not severe enough to require a crown and can be a good alternative to a crown, requiring less preparation of the tooth.
Dr. Jenista uses laboratory-hardened composite inlays and onlays which are stronger and more durable than large fillings and don't chip, which porcelain inlays or onlays can sometimes do.
