Inlays and Onlays in Kelowna

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are a type of tooth restoration that is created outside the mouth and fitted onto the tooth. Although similar to dental crowns, inlays and onlays are not as extensive in their coverage of a tooth. Instead, they rest on top of molars, usually providing a new biting surface. 

Same-Day Partial Dental Restorations 

Using CEREC technology, we can create same-day restorations for your teeth. This means you won’t need to come back after your restoration has been created in a dental laboratory; instead, you can go home with your tooth fully protected and ready to heal.

How Dentists Determine What Type of Restoration You Need

Whether you need an inlay or onlay will depend on the level of damage or disease your tooth has suffered, or the amount of tooth material your dentist has had to remove during a treatment procedure.
