Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that may be used to reinforce an existing tooth that is too damaged to adequately support a filling, but does not require a crown.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

• Superior Fit:  A conservative preparation allows for the preservation of tooth material.
• Natural Color:  Inlays and onlays are made to match the natural tooth color, allowing for a much more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
• Easy to maintain:  The custom fit allows for easier cleaning of the tooth, as compared to full crowns.
• Strength and Stability:  The material used for Inlays & Onlays are extremely durable, and may strengthen the overall stability of the damaged tooth.

Previous techniques required dentists to take an impression, which was then sent off to a laboratory for a custom fit inlay or onlay - which may take several days or weeks to finish.

Dr. Agatep now uses state of the art CAD/CAM technology to render a 3d image of the tooth structure, and create restoration materials onsite using the new CEREC AC system.  The result is same day delivery of your inlay or onlay, minimizing follow up visits to the office and eliminating wait time.

The CEREC system allows for onsite material fabrication, and is extremely accurate, ensuring a good fit the first time around.
