What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?

An inlay is a custom-made restoration that fits within the cusps (the bumps on the chewing surface) of a tooth. An onlay is larger and covers one or more of the cusps. They are sometimes called 'partial crowns'.

When are inlays or onlays recommended?

They are recommended when a tooth has decay or damage that is too large for a simple filling to repair effectively, but the tooth structure is still healthy enough that a full crown is not necessary. They are a more conservative option than a crown.

What are they made of?

Inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental lab from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or gold. Porcelain and ceramic are popular choices as they can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
