This post from Ray McKinley DDS & Brittany McKinley-Holloway DDS — McKinley General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry in Shelby Township describes the difference between two common restorations, the inlay and the onlay.

If you have tooth sensitivity or pain when you chew, the surfaces of your molars may be damaged. One option for restoration is the use of an inlay or onlay.

Inlays are very strong and shaped to precisely fit a hole in a damaged tooth. The choice of an inlay or onlay depends on how much decay and tooth loss has taken place.

An inlay resembles a filling and fills a small part of the tooth, while an onlay covers one or more of the cusps on the top of the tooth. Both are made of metal, composite resin, or porcelain.

Inlays and onlays safeguard the tooth from further damage, provide natural function, and are durable and inconspicuous.

At Ray McKinley DDS & Brittany McKinley-Holloway DDS — McKinley General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry in Shelby Township we provide complete restorative dentistry.

ComfortableAn office full of friendly people who do their best to make you feel comfortable and let you choose how you want to be treated. My experience has involved as much mental healing as it has physical.

RelaxedGreat dentist and staff. I am hard to get fully numb, but they took their time to make sure I was fully numb and relaxed before doing work for a new crown. I didn’t feel a thing.
