Inlays and Onlays in Humble, TX
Serving Atascocita & Kingwood Areas

At Clayton Dental Studio, we offer high-quality dental inlays and onlays as a conservative and long-lasting solution for repairing damaged teeth. Serving patients in Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, Spring, Woodland, and Houston, inlays and onlays restore strength, function, and appearance while preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Often referred to as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are an excellent alternative to traditional fillings or full dental crowns when moderate tooth damage is present.
What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
- Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth and do not cover the cusps.
- Onlays cover one or more cusps and provide additional protection and strength.

When Are Inlays and Onlays Recommended?

- A tooth has moderate decay or damage
- A large filling needs replacement
- A tooth is cracked or weakened
