Inlay Onlay Overlay
In dentistry, inlays, onlays and overlays are types of dental restorations used to repair decayed or damaged teeth. They are custom-made prosthetics and can be made from porcelain, composite resin, base metal or gold. Currently, most patients choose E.max as the material (a type of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material), because it is aesthetic, durable and biocompatible.
Dental inlays, onlays and overlays look similar, but they differ in the extent of coverage and the area of the tooth they address. They are fabricated outside the mouth, and then cemented into the damaged place of the tooth (often the chewing surface) to restore its shape, strength, and function.
Featured Dental Inlays and Onlays
Inlays are used when the damage or decay is confined within the cusps (the raised points) of the tooth. They fit into the prepared cavity within the tooth and are bonded in place. They’re a bit like a jigsaw puzzle piece that precisely fills the space left by the removed decay. Onlays are similar to inlays but are used when the damage or decay extends beyond one or more cusps of the tooth.
Overlays cover the entire biting surface of a tooth. They are more extensive than inlays and onlays and are often used when a significant portion of the tooth’s surface is damaged or decayed. Overlays are sometimes referred to as “full crowns” or “partial crowns” depending on their coverage area.
