Inlays and Onlays in Pittsburgh, PA - Precision Restorative Dental Care

When it comes to restoring damaged teeth with precision and durability, inlays and onlays offer a conservative, long-lasting solution. At Ott Family Dentistry, we provide customized inlays and onlays to repair decayed or damaged teeth, restoring their natural function and aesthetics while preserving as much of the tooth structure as possible.

What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are types of indirect restorations used to repair teeth with damage or decay that’s too extensive for a traditional filling but doesn’t require a full crown. Made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin, inlays and onlays fit precisely into the prepared area of the tooth, ensuring strength, stability, and a natural appearance.

• Inlays: Cover the grooves of a tooth, fitting within the cusps.
• Onlays: Extend over one or more cusps, covering a larger area.
