Dental inlays and onlays are recommended for patients who:
- Have a tooth with moderate damage or decay.
- Have too little damage or decay to necessitate a crown, but too much to
Repair with a traditional filling.
- Need to replace an old filling.
Whether we recommend a dental inlay (less severe damage) or onlay (more severe damage) for a patient will depend on the extent and location of the tooth’s damage. The best thing about these two restorations is that they conserve more of your natural tooth structure and this is always Dr Naz’s goal.
