Tooth Repair: Inlays & Onlays
When a tooth is too damaged for a traditional filling but doesn't quite require a dental crown, Dr. Thorson, Dr. Garner, and Dr. Nguyen may recommend dental inlays and onlays. These restorations are an excellent way to fully restore your tooth and smile while also preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Dental inlays and onlays, sometimes called partial crowns, are custom-made restorations designed to repair damaged teeth. We craft them from composite resin, porcelain, or gold to ensure an optimal fit and function for your smile. These restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, preserve a significant amount of your natural tooth structure, and help restore your overall oral health.
Both inlays and onlays are used to restore damaged or decayed teeth, with the choice depending on the extent of the damage. An inlay is used when the damage does not extend to the cusps (the pointed parts of the tooth). An onlay is used when the damage reaches one or more of the cusps. Our dentists will help you determine if an inlay or onlay is the best option for your smile.
