What are Inlays and Onlays?
Dental Implants Towson
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used at Dental Implants & Cosmetic Dentistry of Towson to repair moderate tooth damage or decay when a simple filling is no longer sufficient, but a full crown would be unnecessarily invasive. Sometimes referred to as “partial crowns,” these restorations are carefully crafted by Dr. Nathan Dancykier and Dr. Keith A. Boenning using durable porcelain or ceramic materials that blend naturally with the surrounding tooth structure. Inlays fit snugly within the grooves of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps to provide additional reinforcement and protection where needed.
These restorations allow our team to preserve more of your natural enamel while restoring full function, strength, and aesthetics. Because inlays and onlays are precisely bonded to the tooth, they help reinforce weakened areas, minimize the risk of fractures, and prevent further decay. With attentive care and regular visits, they can last for many years, providing a reliable, comfortable solution that supports your long-term oral health. Dr. Dancykier and Dr. Boenning take a personalized approach to ensure every restoration enhances both the integrity and appearance of your smile.
