Restorative dentist Dr. Whinery works with trusted dental labs to design and create esthetic porcelain crowns, inlays, and onlays. If you have a tooth with extensive decay or structural damage, such as a large chip or crack, a custom-made, tooth-colored crown can fit snugly over the prepared tooth to restore function, comfort, and beauty, while maintaining your bite.
Like a crown, an inlay or onlay is created in a lab with esthetic, natural-looking ceramics. An inlay repairs the "valley" of a tooth between the cusps, while a more extensive onlay repairs one or more of the cusps and/or the "valley." Dr. Whinery may suggest an inlay or onlay to replace a large, old filling or repair a large area of decay. Think of inlays and onlays as restorations that fall between fillings and crowns.
