Questions & answers

Dental inlays & onlays

WHAT ARE INLAYS AND ONLAYS?

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that help teeth that are mostly intact. They are typically made of porcelain or composite resin, and they fill in or cover places in the tooth that have been damaged by decay or injury.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INLAYS AND ONLAYS?

Inlays go more into the grooves of your teeth, between the cusps. Onlays, on the other hand, cover more of the chewing surface of your teeth.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GETTING AN INLAY OR ONLAY AND GETTING A FILLING?

Dental fillings are for small cavities and can usually be filled in a single appointment. Dental inlays and onlays take care of teeth that have larger damaged areas. They also tend to take two dental appointments, as you will receive a temporary inlay or onlay first and a permanent one during your second appointment.

WHAT ARE INLAYS AND ONLAYS

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that are used to repair damage or decay. If the damage is not extensive enough to warrant the use of a dental crown but is too serious to be repaired with a filling, our experienced dentists may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. Also known as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are custom created from porcelain, composite resin material or gold. Our dentists will ensure that your custom inlay or onlay perfectly fits your tooth to restore the health, function and appearance of your smile. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth and conserve much of your natural tooth structure.

INLAYS VS. ONLAYS

Both inlays and onlays are used to restore damaged teeth. The difference between a dental inlay and a dental onlay is that an inlay is used when the damage does not reach the cusps of the tooth, while a dental onlay is used when the damage extends to one or more of the cusps. We will help you determine whether you need a dental inlay or onlay to restore your smile.
