Inlay & Onlay Restorations

Reasons for onlay restorations:

Broken or fractured teeth.
Cosmetic enhancement.
Decayed teeth.
Fractured fillings.
Large fillings.

What does getting an onlay involve?

You have a big filling that needs replacement. Do you have to get a full crown? Not necessarily. A more conservative option, inlays and onlays fit into a tooth similar to a filling, yet they are milled restorations, much like a crown. The bumps on top of a tooth are called cusps. Inlays fit between cusps, while onlays fit over one or more cusps. Inlays and onlays allow a patient to retain more natural tooth structure, which is always best. Not every situation is right for an inlay or onlay, but the dentist will assess your problem and determine the best solution for you. Because they are created in-office with our CEREC machine, only one appointment is needed to complete the restoration.

"I have severe anxiety and this was my second time in this dental office. They made me feel very comfortable and even though I could not tell them how much anxiety I was actually feeling, the staff made me feel welcomed and kept checking on me. Thank you!"

"Extremely pleased with my initial visit with Dr. Settimi and all her staff. Great communication in the weeks prior to the visit. Upon arriving, very thoughtful and courteous. Being an initial visit I had to go through the usual x-rays and what not, however, loved that I was able to see the x-rays and other other examinations myself right away on the screen in front of me. Dr. Settimi analyzed the work and spoke to me at length about what she was doing, what was going on with my teeth, answering any and all questions I had. What a wonderful initial visit. Can't wait to go back."
