Tooth inlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair moderate decay or damage in a tooth, typically in the chewing surface. They are crafted from materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or gold, and are designed to fit snugly within the prepared cavity of the tooth. Unlike fillings, which are applied directly into the cavity, inlays are created in a dental lab and then bonded to the tooth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Inlays can help restore tooth function while preserving more of the natural tooth structure compared to traditional fillings.
