Understanding Crowns, Inlays, and Onlays
Crowns, inlays, and onlays are custom-made restorations designed to repair and protect damaged teeth. These treatments preserve natural tooth structure while restoring function and aesthetics. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, while inlays and onlays cover smaller areas, fitting within or over the tooth’s cusps.
