Custom-crafted inlays and onlays can be an excellent option when your tooth has been compromised by decay that is too extensive for a filling. Dr. Trovato will place your inlay or onlay on the chewing surface of your molar to restore your oral health and function. Inlays are smaller, resting in between the sharp cusps of your tooth, whereas onlays extend down the sides of your tooth. Like crowns, inlays and onlays are custom-made to match your tooth for a highly lifelike appearance.
