Inlay & Onlay Filling Treatment
Healthy teeth, happy smiles
Inlay and Onlay filling treatment is a special filling method used to repair tooth decay, restore broken or damaged tooth structures and improve the aesthetic appearance. This treatment is generally preferred for large cavities or damage to the back teeth.
