When a filling is not enough but a crown is too much, inlays and onlays provide the perfect middle ground. At Esthetique Dentistry in Ashburn, we craft custom restorations that preserve your natural tooth while restoring strength and beauty.
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that repair moderate tooth damage while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Inlays fit within the chewing surface of a tooth, filling the space between the cusps. Onlays are larger, extending over one or more cusps when more coverage is needed. Both are fabricated from porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin at our Ashburn, VA dental lab.
Unlike traditional fillings that are packed into a cavity, inlays and onlays are precisely crafted outside the mouth and then bonded in place. This allows for superior fit, strength, and aesthetics, making them ideal for restoring molars and premolars in Ashburn, Loudoun County, and Northern Virginia patients.
Inlays and onlays offer the best of both worlds, the strength of a crown with the tooth preservation of a filling.
Unlike full crowns, inlays and onlays only replace the damaged portion, preserving healthy tooth structure.
Porcelain and ceramic inlays are up to 75% stronger than composite fillings and more resistant to wear.
Custom-crafted from tooth-colored materials, inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
With proper care, inlays and onlays placed at our Ashburn office can last 15-30 years.
