When a tooth is too damaged for a traditional filling but does not require a full dental crown, inlays and onlays can provide the perfect solution. These custom restorations are designed to strengthen and restore damaged teeth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. At A Plus Dentistry, we provide high-quality inlays and onlays designed for durability, comfort, and natural-looking results.
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair moderate tooth decay or damage. An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps of the tooth for additional protection. They are considered a conservative alternative to dental crowns because they preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
Inlays and onlays are stronger than traditional fillings and can provide long-lasting protection for damaged teeth.
These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, discreet result.
Unlike crowns, inlays and onlays preserve more healthy tooth structure while restoring strength and function.
Each restoration is carefully crafted to fit your tooth precisely for improved comfort and bite alignment.

You may be a candidate if you have a damaged or decayed tooth that is too large for a filling but not severe enough to require a crown. Our dental team will evaluate your oral health and recommend the best restorative treatment for your needs.
At A Plus Dentistry, we focus on personalized restorative dentistry solutions designed to protect your oral health while preserving your natural smile. Our experienced team combines modern technology with compassionate care to provide durable and aesthetically pleasing restorations.
We examine the tooth and determine whether an inlay or onlay is the right conservative option — too much for a filling, but not severe enough for a full crown.
The damaged or decayed portion is gently removed, and a precise impression is taken so your restoration fits your tooth and bite exactly.
Your inlay or onlay is custom made to match the natural shade and contour of your tooth for a seamless, discreet result.
On your second visit, the restoration is bonded securely into place — restoring strength, function, and the natural appearance of your smile.
