Porcelain Onlay and Inlay

Inlays and onlays are used to make the tooth stronger by holding it together while retaining a natural, aesthetically pleasing color. They are used in instances when there is deficient tooth structure to support a filling but the tooth is still in a condition that does not require a crown. Inlays fit into the space remaining after the decay of an old filling or cavity has been removed and onlays (partial crowns) sit on the tooth and enforce its structure.
