When do you need Inlays / Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations (fabricated by a laboratory) which are used to restore a tooth that has lost a significant amount of its structure. They are stronger than traditional fillings and are used for cases of particularly severe decay or trauma where a standard filling would not suffice. Issues with the exterior of the tooth can warrant an onlay, whereas interior problems may warrant an inlay. They can be made of metal or porcelain and require 2 visits to the clinic following an initial examination.
