Inlays and Onlays

At Star Dental, our primary mission is to not only preserve your teeth but have them looking their best. We believe in effective tooth revitalization through conservative means. Inlays & Onlays are the perfect fit for teeth that need more than a filling but don’t need a full crown.

What Are Inlays?

You can think of Inlays as a type of partial crown. On your tooth surface, there are peaks and valleys. When the partial porcelain crown is bonded to the valleys, they’re known as Inlays.

What Are Onlays?

When a partial porcelain crown is bonded to the tooth peaks, they’re called Onlays.

How Will My Teeth Look After Treatment?

Everyone gravitates towards a natural-looking smile. Inlays and Onlays are popular since they provide a natural look to your teeth. A big help comes from its color-matched ceramics. The dentists will prep and bond these restorations and choose the precise color match to blend with your natural teeth and smile.
