If your tooth has been slightly damaged but still healthy, dental inlays and onlays could be right for you. With this service, Dr. Birch can keep your tooth’s structure intact, and strengthen the remaining surface. We encourage you to call Birch Family Dental at 307-875-3658 to schedule your visit with our dentist and learn more about the uses of dental inlays and onlays in Green River, Wyoming.
Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that are used to repair damage or decay. If the damage is not extensive enough to warrant the use of a dental crown but is too serious to be repaired with a filling, our experienced dentist may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. Also known as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are custom created from porcelain, composite resin material or gold. Our dentist will ensure that your custom inlay or onlay perfectly fits your tooth to restore the health, function and appearance of your smile. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth and conserve much of your natural tooth structure.
Both inlays and onlays are used to restore damaged teeth. The difference between a dental inlay and a dental onlay is that an inlay is used when the damage does not reach the cusps of the tooth, while a dental onlay is used when the damage extends to one or more of the cusps. We will help you determine whether you need a dental inlay or onlay to restore your smile.
The cost of dental inlays and onlays at Birch Family Dental starts at $62 per month through financing options, making these precision restorations an accessible alternative to traditional fillings or full crowns. The total investment depends on factors such as the size of the restoration area, the material chosen (usually porcelain, gold, or composite), and the complexity of your case. These custom-made restorations provide exceptional durability while preserving more of your natural tooth structure than a crown would require.
Key Factors Affecting Inlay and Onlay Costs:
- Restoration Material: Porcelain, gold, or composite materials each have different price points.
- Size and Complexity: Larger or more complex restorations may require more material and time.
- Insurance Coverage: Many dental plans provide partial coverage for these restorations.
At Birch Family Dental, we believe in providing conservative treatment options that preserve your natural teeth. We provide financing options to make inlays and onlays affordable, and our team will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits.
