What is dental inlays and onlays?

Dental inlays and onlays are basically the same kind of restoration, but it covers different areas of the tooth. A dental inlay is a filling that fills up the centre spaces in between the rounded edges of a tooth. This filling consists of a solid element which is fitted and cemented into a cavity in a tooth. This process involves constructing the restoration outside of the mouth using the dental impressions of the prepared tooth, rather than filling it inside of the mouth. A dental onlay works the same as an inlay, with the exception of it covering one or more or the entire biting surface of the tooth. Dental onlays are sometimes referred to as “partial crowns’ due to its extensive coverage.
