DENTAL INLAYS
AND ONLAYS
VS CROWNS
WHICH IS BETTER?
Finding out that you have
a cavity is never fun.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Yet, we have several options
that we can choose from
to restore your tooth back
to better health.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
When you have a cavity,
we assess its size and location.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Then, we make recommendations
for a restoration that we believe
will offer the best chances for
long term success.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Inlays, onlays and crowns all have
their place for repairing teeth.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Understanding how each one
works helps you know why we
think one is better than another
to include in your treatment plan.

When You Need
MORE THAN A FILLING
Cavities that are caught early
can usually be drilled out and
filled with a composite or
amalgam material.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
In some cases, the tooth
decay is too extensive,
and we need to remove more
of the tooth than we would
for a normal filling.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
You can also have decay
on the cusp of a tooth.
This is often harder to repair
with a simple filling.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Inlays, onlays and crowns
provide more support for
a tooth that has had a large
amount of its surface removed.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
The Difference
Between
AN INLAY AND AN ONLAY
An inlay is a solid piece
of material that is used to
fill in the space after your
cavity is drilled out.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
This type of restoration
is made to fill in cavities
that occur between the cusps
of your tooth.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Onlays are more like
a partial crown.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
They are made to fit over the
cusp of your tooth, but they
do not cover the entire tooth
like a crown does.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
Both inlays and onlays can be
made from metal such as gold
for teeth that are not visible
when you smile.
JACOBVANCOUVER
COMPANYCEO
You can also have these
made in composite resin
or porcelain to match your
tooth
