We offer high-quality dental inlays and onlays in Hutto, Texas, to restore and strengthen damaged teeth. These restorations provide a durable and natural-looking solution for teeth that have moderate decay or damage that cannot be treated with a standard filling but do not require a full dental crown. Our dentist ensures that each restoration is carefully crafted for a precise fit and long-lasting results.
What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom restorations designed to repair a tooth while preserving as much of the natural structure as possible. Our dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay if you have:
- A cavity too large for a regular filling
- A tooth that is weakened but does not need a full crown
- A cracked or fractured tooth that requires additional strength
- An old or failing filling that needs replacement
Inlays are used when the damage is within the grooves of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth to provide additional support. Both options help restore the function, strength and appearance of your tooth.
The Dental Inlay and Onlay Process
The process of receiving an inlay or onlay typically requires two visits. During the first visit, our dentist will carefully remove any decay and prepare the tooth. Digital impressions may be taken to ensure a precise fit, and a temporary restoration is placed to protect the tooth.
Once your custom inlay or onlay is ready, you will return for your second visit, where we will bond the restoration to your tooth. The result is a seamless, natural-looking restoration that blends perfectly with your smile. Inlays and onlays are highly durable and provide long-term protection against further damage.
