Dental inlays and onlays offer durable and conservative solutions for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. At Illuminate Dentistry, our dentists and team provide these restorations in Cincinnati, Ohio, using high-quality materials and digital design to ensure long-lasting results. These restorations preserve more of the natural tooth structure compared to full dental crowns, making them a preferred option for moderate dental repairs.
Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are often recommended when a filling is insufficient, but a crown is too extensive. These restorations are custom-designed to fit precisely within or over the affected area of a tooth, providing strength without sacrificing healthy enamel.
Common benefits include:
- Strong and stable support for compromised teeth
- Custom-fit for long-lasting, secure placement
- Preservation of more natural tooth structure
- Resistance to staining and wear with proper care
Inlays are placed within the cusps of a tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Both options restore the function of the tooth while maintaining its original shape and appearance. This approach helps prevent further decay and structural weakening over time.
Precision and Efficiency in Restorative Care
Our dentists and team use digital imaging and modern design tools to produce inlays and onlays that blend seamlessly with your smile. Digital impressions reduce discomfort and provide exact measurements for enhanced accuracy. Fabrication is handled with attention to detail to ensure a stable, comfortable fit.
With proper placement and materials, inlays and onlays often last longer than traditional fillings. Their strength and bonding technique reduce the risk of fractures or the need for more extensive dental work in the future. These restorations support natural tooth function while minimizing the impact on surrounding enamel.
