Inlays / Onlays
Renewing Inlays and Onlays in Minnetonka, MN
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are dental restorations used to repair teeth with moderate damage or decay. They provide a durable and aesthetic solution, especially when the damage is too severe for a filling but not severe enough to require a complete crown.
Inlays are used when the damage is within the cusps of the tooth, while onlays, often referred to as "partial crowns," are used when the damage extends beyond one or more of the cusps. Both inlays and onlays are custom-made in a dental lab to fit your tooth perfectly and are then bonded to the damaged area of the tooth by our dental office professionals in Minnetonka, MN.
