inlay or an onlay is a conservative alternative to a full crown, and may be recommended after decay is removed. Tooth-colored material is bonded to the tooth for increased support and strength as well as to restore normal appearance.

A porcelain inlay or onlay is a piece of porcelain that fits into or onto the tooth. It holds the tooth together and makes the tooth stronger while keeping the tooth looking natural.

The American Dental Association is an excellent resource for details on these restorations. Visit www.ada.org for more information. Dr. Lewcock will provide an in depth explanation of these excellent restorations for your teeth at your appointment but a brief description is listed below: Crowns: Crowns or "caps" are restorations designed to fit snugly and function as normal teeth.

onlay is a tooth-shaped restoration made of composite resin or porcelain that completely or partially covers the natural tooth. It is for those restorations that need to be stronger than a simple filling yet don’t require a full crown. Often, Dr. Rieder or Dr. Carson may suggest onlays as an alternative treatment to crowns if it means saving more healthy natural tooth structure.

No single part can be bigger than 12 inches by 24 inches without needing to be created from pieces that size or smaller. There are additional costs with such oversized jobs. Depending on the veneer selected, this limitation might be much smaller. Your quote will include a notice if some veneer parts will have seams. Seams due to intrinsic veneer size limitations DO NOT incur oversized charges.

I am not much of an inlay person, simply because I feel it only makes the instrument look better, but really does nothing for it's playability or tone And although I have done a few inlay pieces myself, I would rather send most elaborate work out to an inlay artist.
