Your assessmentHow it works
Inlay or Onlay? We Plan It With You
An inlay fits within the cusps of a tooth, while an onlay covers one or more cusps. We assess the tooth and recommend the option that best restores it.
We always aim to keep as much of your natural tooth as possible while restoring its strength and shape.
