Some cavities are too large for a filling but nowhere near large enough to justify grinding the tooth down for a crown. Inlays and onlays sit in that gap, restoring the chewing surface with a custom-milled piece bonded into place while leaving the healthy walls of the tooth intact.
At Bluewater Dental, our Juno Beach team mills these in porcelain or composite to fit the cavity precisely, which is why they hold up better than a large filling under years of chewing. When decay has undermined the walls of the tooth as well, a crown becomes the more durable choice and we will explain why.
Dr. Blake Willoughby leads our Juno Beach practice on Donald Ross Road, where the goal is always to remove as little healthy tooth as the repair allows.
