A dental inlay (Inlay or Onlay) is recommended in cases where a gap needs to be filled, and an aesthetic filling made in the office no longer provides a safe solution. A smaller dental inlay is called an inlay, and a larger dental inlay that covers the surface of the tooth is called an onlay.

Dental inlays that restore the original shape and contour of the tooth are made by dental laboratories. The smaller inlay is called an inlay, while the larger inlay that covers the surface of the tooth is called an onlay.

Depending on your choice, the dental inlay can be made of natural-looking composite material, but also of gold and ceramic.
