Inlays and Onlays
When a filling is too small and a crown too large, lab-made inlays and onlays are the perfect compromise – restoring strength while preserving healthy enamel.
Conservative • Precise • Long-Lasting
Sometimes called “three-quarter crowns”, they’re milled from solid ceramic for a snug, puzzle-piece fit.
