Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage that is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a crown. Crafted from durable materials like porcelain, composite resin, or gold, these restorations restore the function and aesthetics of your teeth while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Inlays & Onlays: What’s the Difference?
- Inlays: Fit within the grooves of the tooth, covering only the damaged portion.
- Onlays: Extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, providing additional reinforcement.
Benefits of Inlays & Onlays:
With proper care, inlays and onlays can last for many years. Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid chewing on hard objects, and schedule regular dental check-ups to ensure their longevity.
- Strengthen and protect damaged teeth

What to Expect During the Inlay & Onlay Procedure:
- Consultation & Preparation: The affected tooth is examined, and an impression is taken to create a custom-fit restoration.
- Temporary Protection: A temporary filling may be placed while the permanent inlay or onlay is being fabricated.
- Final Placement: The custom inlay or onlay is bonded securely to the tooth and polished for a flawless finish.
