Inlays & Onlays
At South 40 Dental's Sexsmith location in Alberta, we can help repair your damaged teeth with dental restorations called inlays and onlays.
What are Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are cosmetic options that fix broken, misshapen, chipped, asymmetrical or damaged teeth.
These treatment options are custom-made and can match the original shape of your teeth. Inlays and onlays are usually virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel.
What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?
Inlays: Fit just inside the bumps of a tooth, similar to a composite filling.
Onlays: Cover more surface area than inlays as they wrap over one or more edges of the tooth.
Either an inlay or an onlay may be a viable cosmetic dental option for your smile.
