Dental Inlays and Onlays in Toronto

When a tooth has more damage than a simple filling can predictably address but does not necessarily require a full dental crown, an inlay or onlay may be considered.

At Mabelle Dental Yorkville, we assess damaged and decayed teeth and recommend restorative options based on the amount and location of remaining tooth structure.

What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

An inlay is designed to restore an area within the chewing surface of a tooth.

An onlay covers a larger area and may extend over one or more cusps of the tooth.

Unlike a direct filling, an inlay or onlay is fabricated to fit the prepared area of the tooth.

Why Might an Inlay or Onlay Be Recommended?

They may be considered for:

• Moderate tooth decay
• Worn or damaged restorations
• Cracked or weakened teeth
• Damage that is too extensive for certain fillings
• Situations where preserving more natural tooth structure is possible

Inlays and Onlays vs. Crowns

Dental crowns cover most or all of the visible portion of the prepared tooth, while inlays and onlays generally restore a more localized area.

Your dentist can determine the appropriate restoration after examining the tooth.

FAQs

Are inlays and onlays the same as fillings?

No. They are custom restorations rather than direct filling material placed entirely during the preparation procedure.

Longevity varies with oral hygiene, bite forces, material, tooth condition and other factors.

That depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains and the extent of damage.
