Dental Inlays and Onlays in Charlotte, NC

Inlays and onlays made of porcelain or gold are used to restore teeth with cavities and are a stronger alternative to tooth colored fillings. Inlays are placed on the top or chewing surface of the tooth and do not extend over the outer cusps. Onlays, like inlays, are placed on the top of the tooth but also cover one or more cusps. Inlays and onlays made of porcelain will be custom color-matched to blend in with the tooth.

What's Included

A closer look at inlays and onlays

Stronger than Fillings

Inlays and onlays made of porcelain or gold are a stronger alternative to tooth colored fillings.

Inlays vs Onlays

Inlays stay on the chewing surface without covering cusps. Onlays cover one or more cusps when more restoration is needed.

Porcelain or Gold

Choose porcelain for aesthetic color-matching, or gold for maximum durability where aesthetics matter less.

Custom Color-Matched

Porcelain inlays and onlays are custom color-matched to blend in with the tooth.
