A smiling womanEither due to accidental trauma or tooth decay, it is possible for your teeth to suffer damage from time to time. At ConfiDENT, we offer a wide variety of treatment options to restore damaged teeth. For cases in which the tooth damage is too extensive for a dental filling but not large enough to warrant a dental crown, an inlay or onlay may be recommended. Inlays and onlays are effective restorations that are used on the chewing surfaces of the molars or back teeth. When choosing our Alpharetta dental practice for this restorative procedure, you can expect a rewarding experience and seamless results.

Inlays and onlays provide substantial coverage for a damaged or decayed tooth, and they do not require the removal of additional healthy tooth structure around the damage. They fit precisely in the missing space, much like a puzzle. An inlay is designed to fit inside the tooth’s cusps, while an onlay provides protection that extends beyond the cusps of the affected tooth. After carefully evaluating your tooth damage, our Alpharetta dental team will explain which type of dental restoration you need. We will discuss what you can expect from the procedure itself as well as any long-term care of your inlay or onlay.
