Inlays and Onlays in Rome, NY
A strong, custom-made repair for a damaged tooth that keeps as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Repairing a tooth so it lasts
When a tooth has a cavity or a crack, you want a repair you won't have to think about again. Inlays and onlays are custom-made pieces that fit precisely into the damaged part of your tooth — they're a stronger repair than a traditional filling, and they save more of your natural tooth than a full crown.
What's The Difference Between An Inlay And An Onlay?
An inlay fits within the chewing surface of your tooth. An onlay covers a little more of the tooth, so it's used when the damage reaches further. Dr. Candido will recommend whichever one protects your tooth best.
Do You Still Do Fillings?
No. We now repair teeth with inlays, onlays, and crowns, which give you a stronger result.
Does Insurance Cover Inlays And Onlays?
We're out of network with all insurance plans, but we're happy to help you file for reimbursement — what your plan pays back is up to them.
