Why do I need Inlays or Onlays?

Amalgam or other resin fillings are ideal for removing small and medium-size cavities present in your teeth but are not effective when the decayed area is large. That’s why the dentist recommends an inlay or overlay which is strong porcelain and will provide adequate strength to the tooth and will also last for long.

Inlays and Onlays treatment is called indirect fillings as it is made in a dental laboratory by dental surgeons using an impression of your prepared tooth and till it gets ready, temporary fillings will be added in your tooth for protection.

Difference between Inlays and Onlays?
