Inlays and Onlays in Willimantic

Do you have damaged or decayed teeth?

Inlays or Onlays can be your smile saver!

Inlays and onlays are types of dental restorations that are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth.

Here’s a breakdown of inlays and onlays:

Inlays– An inlay is a type of dental restoration that fits within the contours of a cavity, typically in the indented area of the tooth (the chewing surface).

Onlays– An onlay is similar to an inlay, but it extends over one or more of the cusps (the raised points) of the tooth. Essentially, an onlay is a more extensive restoration that covers part or all of the chewing surface, as well as the sides of the tooth.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

Durability: Inlays and onlays are highly durable and can last for many years.
Aesthetic: Porcelain inlays and onlays are tooth-colored and blend well with the natural tooth, making them a great option for restoring teeth in visible areas.
Preserve Tooth Structure: Unlike crowns, inlays and onlays require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure, making them a more conservative option compared to full crowns.
Better Fit: Custom-made inlays and onlays fit perfectly, providing better protection and support than traditional fillings.
