Inlay

A laboratory made internal filling, cemented or bonded into a tooth.  Can be made of porcelain.  Gold                              inlays are rarely used any more, although they were at one time the treatment of choice in                              dentistry, because they tended to put cracks in teeth.  We generally find onlays a better choice for                              high quality, tooth-conservative dentistry.  Porcelain inlays seem to have a good track record to                              date; Dr. Groh has two of them in his teeth.
