When our dental team of Harris Dental repairs a tooth that has decay or damage, the procedure chosen often depends on the location of the problem. (We’re talking tooth-specific locale here; it doesn’t matter whether you live in Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, or Chandler.) If there is a chip, crack or cavity on the biting surface of a tooth, an onlay or inlay is often used to restore the tooth.

Inlays and onlays are a type of tooth restoration used successfully at Harris Dental. They are usually bigger than a conventional filling yet smaller than a complete crown. An inlay is used to fill an area inside the cusp tips or bumps of a tooth. An onlay covers an area that includes more than one cusp.

At Harris Dental, the inlays and onlays we place for our Mesa, Chandler, Phoenix, Queen Creek, and Scottsdale patients are indistinguishable from their natural teeth. Our extraordinary dentists have the finely-honed eye for detail and complete mastery of dental aesthetics to create an exact match.

Harris Dental inlays and onlays:

Are stain resistant
Do not cause tooth sensitivity
Are beautifully matched to natural teeth
When bonded to the tooth, they strengthen the tooth and prevent further decay or damage
