Inlays and Onlays From Our Wilmington, NC Dentists

Inlays and onlays from Dr. Edgerton and Dr. Fisher, our dentists in Wilmington, NC, make it possible to replace unsightly and unhealthy metal fillings with beautiful, long-lasting, tooth-colored restorations. Amazing CEREC technology offers these onlays and inlays in about an hour! Our CEREC machine digitally scans your teeth, and then custom mills your exact fit porcelain inlay or onlay, which fits onto your tooth like a puzzle piece. By saving your time with 1-appointment inlays and onlays, you can walk in with a sore tooth, and out with a beautiful CEREC restoration.

Increasingly strong materials used in inlays and onlays enable more conservative restorative procedures instead of crowns or even root canals. These white or tooth-colored materials match your existing teeth and only cover areas of damaged tooth structure. Crowns require the removal of much more tooth structure, so inlays and onlays are excellent for maintaining the natural look and strength of your smile.

An inlay is like a porcelain puzzle piece that covers the grooves between the cusps (high points) of your teeth. An onlay is applied to a greater amount of the tooth surface, including grooves and cusps. When expertly applied by a skilled cosmetic dentist in Wilmington, NC such as Drs. Edgerton and Fisher, inlays and onlays can restore a great amount of function to a previously damaged tooth.
