Conservative, Custom-Fit Tooth Repair at New York Dental Clinic | Daegu Dental Clinic

When a cavity is too large for a regular filling—but not extensive enough to require a full crown or root canal—inlays offer a perfect middle-ground solution. At New York Dental Clinic, a leading Daegu dental clinic, we specialize in custom-fabricated inlays that restore strength, shape, and appearance while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Inlays are ideal for molars or premolars affected by moderate decay or cracks, and are designed to fit precisely within the grooves of your tooth, providing a durable and seamless restoration.

What Are Inlays?

Dental inlays are lab-made restorations designed to replace damaged tooth structure within the cusps (top edges) of the tooth. Unlike fillings, which are molded directly into place, inlays are fabricated outside the mouth and then bonded into position, offering superior fit, durability, and aesthetics.

Using digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology, the team at New York Dental ensures a highly accurate fit and long-lasting comfort for each patient.

When Are Inlays Recommended?

You may benefit from inlays if:

• You have a cavity too large for a standard resin filling
• Your tooth is damaged or cracked but the cusps are still intact
• You prefer a longer-lasting, more aesthetic restoration
• You want to avoid a full crown and preserve natural tooth structure

Inlays are often used as a conservative alternative to full-coverage crowns, especially when root canal treatment is not needed.
