A dental inlay is a type of restoration that fits into the grooves of a tooth but does not extend over the cusps. It’s used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage, restoring their function and appearance. Inlays are custom-made to fit the tooth precisely and are expertly bonded in place by our dentist to provide a seamless restoration.
What is a dental onlay?
A dental onlay is like an inlay, except it covers a larger area of the tooth, including one or more cusps. Onlays are used when the damage to the tooth is more extensive but not severe enough to require a full crown. They provide a strong and durable restoration, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
Does dental insurance cover dental inlays and onlays?
Many dental insurance plans cover inlays and onlays, but coverage can vary depending on the specific policy. It’s essential to check with your insurance provider to understand what your specific plan covers. With our belief that exceptional dental care should be available to everyone, we offer a couple of membership savings plans to make services like this affordable, even without insurance.
