Inlays & Onlays in Middletown

At Jolly Smiles, we offer high-quality inlays and onlays in Middletown to restore damaged or decayed teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. These custom-made restorations provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional fillings and crowns.

If you have a moderately damaged tooth that needs more support than a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays and onlays may be the ideal solution for you.

What Are Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom restorations made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold, designed to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage.

  • Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth (between the cusps)

  • Onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth

They are precisely crafted to match your natural tooth color and shape, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance.

When Are Inlays & Onlays Recommended?

Your dentist may recommend inlays or onlays if you have:

  • Moderate tooth decay that cannot be treated with a filling

  • Cracked or fractured teeth

  • Old or failing fillings that need replacement

  • Damage that doesn’t require a full dental crown

  • A desire for a stronger, longer-lasting restoration

These restorations help reinforce the tooth structure and prevent further damage.

Our Inlays & Onlays Procedure

Consultation & Evaluation

We assess your tooth condition and determine whether an inlay or onlay is the best option.

Tooth Preparation

The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed and cleaned.

Impressions & Custom Design

We take precise impressions to create a custom restoration that fits perfectly.

Temporary Restoration

A temporary inlay/onlay may be placed while your permanent restoration is being crafted.

Final Placement

The custom inlay or onlay is bonded securely to your tooth, restoring its strength and function.
