Don’t let damaged teeth cause you stress. Inlays and onlays from Bethany Heights Dental Care, in Allen, TX are a versatile, custom solution to get you smiling again! We offer a precise, custom solution to restore your smile and function, bridging the gap between fillings and crowns. These custom restorations provide durable, tailored repair for larger cavities and damaged tooth surfaces.
What Are Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are often referred to as the middle ground between a filling and a crown. This solution for decaying or damaged teeth rests on molars and pre-molars in the center of the tooth, laying over or inside of the tooth’s edge. If your tooth has decayed beyond what a filling can fix but not to the level of needing a full crown, an inlay or onlay might be the right dental service for you!
Whether from chewing, grinding, or an accident, the cusps of your teeth (those places where your teeth meet your food) are at risk on a daily basis. If more than half of your tooth’s biting surface is damaged, our team at Bethany Heights Dental Care, in Allen, TX can use inlays and onlays to repair it without causing more damage down the line.
For a single crack, we’ll construct a gold, silver, or porcelain inlay, specially designed for your individual tooth and directly bonded with high-strength resin.
For teeth with more extensive damage, we’ll create an onlay to cover bigger problem areas, with the same precision and durability.
Letting your tooth stay damaged can create headaches (literally) down the road. But, with the flexibility of inlays and onlays, we’ll find the long-term solution for your dental health. Let’s get your worry-free, beautiful smile back!
