All About Inlays and Onlays

When Inlays and Onlays Are Used

  • Moderate decay
  • Cracks or fractures
  • Old or failing fillings

They are often chosen when more support is needed than a filling can provide, but a full crown may not be necessary.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

  • Preserve more natural tooth structure
  • Restore strength and chewing function
  • Provide a precise, long-lasting fit
  • Reduce stress on weakened teeth

Inlays and onlays are a conservative restorative option designed for durability and a natural-looking result.

The Inlay and Onlay Process

  • Preparation
    The tooth is cleaned and prepared, and impressions are taken.

Common Questions

Inlays and Onlays FAQ

An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth’s chewing surface, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps of the tooth. Both are custom restorations designed to repair damage while preserving more natural tooth structure than a full crown.
Inlays and onlays may be recommended for moderate decay, cracks, fractures, weakened tooth structure, or older fillings that need replacement when a standard filling may not provide enough support.
In some cases, yes. Inlays and onlays are often used when a tooth needs more strength and coverage than a traditional filling can provide but does not require a full crown. They offer a precise fit and added durability for the right type of damage.
With proper care, inlays and onlays can last for many years. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding excessive force on the restored tooth can help extend their lifespan.
The process usually takes two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared and impressions are taken. During the second visit, the custom restoration is bonded in place and adjusted for comfort and function.
