Top Dentist in Sicklerville, NJ
When it comes to restoring damaged or decayed teeth, we offer a range of effective treatments, including inlays and onlays.

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations typically crafted from porcelain, composite resin, or gold. They are designed to fit precisely within the grooves or cusps of a damaged or decayed tooth. Inlays are used when the damage is limited to the grooves of the tooth, while onlays cover a larger portion of the tooth, including one or more cusps. Dental inlays and onlay offer stronger tooth reinforcement than dental fillings without removing as much natural structure as dental crowns.

Once your custom inlay or onlay is fabricated, you will return for the second appointment.

We then take time to ensure the restoration fits properly, making any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and functionality.
