When teeth suffer from damage or decay that is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a crown, dental inlays and onlays provide a durable and natural-looking solution. Our dentists and team offer high-quality inlays and onlays in Jersey City, New Jersey, to restore the strength, function and appearance of your teeth.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Dental inlays and onlays are custom restorations designed to fit precisely into or onto a damaged tooth. They are typically made from porcelain, composite resin or gold, providing a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional fillings.

  • Inlays – These restorations fit within the grooves of a tooth and are used when damage does not extend to the cusps.
  • Onlays – Covering a larger area, onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, providing added protection and strength.

 

Benefits of Dental Inlays and Onlays

Choosing inlays or onlays offers several advantages over traditional fillings or crowns:

  • Preserve More of Your Natural Tooth – These restorations require minimal tooth reduction, keeping as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible.
  • Durability and Strength – Inlays and onlays are stronger than traditional fillings and provide added reinforcement to weakened teeth.
  • Natural Appearance – Made from tooth-colored materials, they blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
  • Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, inlays and onlays can last for many years without needing replacement.
  • Improved Fit and Comfort – Because they are custom-made, they provide a precise and comfortable fit.
