What are Inlays & Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are a feasible option when more than half of a tooth's biting surface is lost or decayed. Crowns are an alternative, but porcelain bonding that is attached firmly over the tooth is a more reliable and affordable solution. At Dentistry 2000, Dr. Assadian has years of experience working with dental inlays and onlays. Using this advanced restorative and cosmetic procedure, Dr. Assadian and his team have restored the smiles of numerous patients in Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido.
What are inlays and onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are directly adhered to the damaged surface of the tooth/teeth and are made of either Gold, composite resin or porcelain. Traditionally, Gold has been the material of choice in past procedures. Nowadays, porcelain is more popular since it is more natural-looking, cosmetically appealing, and durable.
