Dentists
frequently recommend inlays or onlays to restore damage to
the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Both inlays and onlays
are precision designed so they'll fit your tooth exactly.
But What's the Difference Between
the Two?
Inlays fit within the grooves between
the cusps of your tooth. Onlays fit within the grooves
and wrap up and over the cusp tips, so they cover more
of the tooth's surface. Dr. Fawcett will decide which
is most appropriate for you, based on the amount of
tooth structure lost to wear or decay.
The Inlays and
Onlays designed in this office are made from porcelain
ceramic so that your tooth will have a strong, natural,
tooth-colored restoration.
