Restore and Protect Your Teeth with Precision Inlays and Onlays
At Titanium Dental & Implants, we offer custom inlays and onlays as a durable solution for teeth with significant damage to the biting surface—often when more than half of the tooth is affected. Unlike traditional fillings, inlays and onlays are crafted to strengthen your natural tooth, potentially boosting its durability by up to 50%.
These restorations are bonded to the tooth using advanced high-strength resins, providing exceptional stability and longevity. With proper care, they can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not compromised enough to require a full crown, onlays offer an ideal, conservative alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations made from porcelain, gold, or composite resin, and are carefully bonded to the damaged areas of the tooth. An inlay fits within the cusps of the tooth, similar to a traditional filling, while an onlay covers one or more cusps, providing a more extensive restoration.
While gold has long been the preferred material for its durability, porcelain has become a popular choice in recent years thanks to its strength and ability to closely match the natural color of your teeth—offering both function and aesthetics.
