Dental Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are types of restorative treatments used to repair rear teeth with mild to moderate decay or fractured teeth where there is not enough damage to require a crown. At Perry Smiles, we specialize in providing high-quality inlays and onlays that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring strength, and function.
Dental Inlays and Onlays in Perry, OK
Offered in many different materials, dental inlays and onlays are bonded to damaged teeth, creating a stronger and healthier surface. Inlays and onlays are bonded directly onto the teeth using special high-strength resins that can actually increase the strength of a tooth by 75 percent. As a result, they can last ten to 30 years and in some cases, where the damage to the tooth is not extensive enough to merit an entire crown, onlays are a great alternative.
