Inlays and onlays are common dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth. These restorations are an ideal compromise between basic restorations such as fillings and aggressive treatment options such as crowns.

​

An inlay or an onlay may be used depending on the severity of the tooth damage and the location of the damage. An inlay fits inside the cusps of the tooth, whereas an onlay extends over the cusps of the tooth.
