At Peña Adobe Dental Advanced Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry in Vacaville, inlays and onlays offer a durable and aesthetic way to restore damaged teeth while preserving their natural structure. These custom-made restorations are designed to fit precisely into the cavities of your back teeth, providing a stronger and more seamless solution than traditional fillings. Inlays are typically used to fill cavities within the tooth, while onlays are ideal for more extensive damage that requires coverage of the tooth’s surface. Both options are made from tooth-colored materials that blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
Inlays and onlays are perfect for patients who have mild to moderate tooth decay or damage that requires restoration. If you have a cavity that’s too large for a regular filling but don’t need a full crown, an inlay or onlay can provide a more conservative and durable solution. These restorations are particularly beneficial for the molars, where the pressure from chewing can be significant. Whether you need to repair a single tooth or multiple teeth, inlays and onlays provide a long-lasting way to restore the health and appearance of your smile.
