dental inlay onlay difference

Inlays & Onlays in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

When a cavity is too big for a filling but the tooth does not deserve a full crown, an inlay or onlay is the conservative middle path, custom-crafted and bonded at our Greenpoint office.

A crown requires grinding the whole tooth down; an inlay or onlay replaces only the damaged portion with precision-milled porcelain or composite. More of your healthy enamel survives, and the restoration is stronger than a large filling stuffed into the same space. It is the option many offices skip, we consider it every time it fits.
