Are Inlays and Onlays Right for You?
Inlays and onlays are designed to fill holes in teeth. Cavities can happen to anyone, at any age, and multiple surface cavities can be present. With inlays and onlays we can fill these crevices and restore the appearance of your tooth while preventing further damage from occurring.
Unlike fillings that are molded in the office, inlays and onlays are created in a lab. They are then fitted and bonded to the damaged tooth. An inlay is used for the center of the tooth, whereas an onlay will cover the cusp of the tooth.
Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
What to Expect From Inlays and Onlays
Unlike fillings that can be done on the same day, this type of restoration will take two office visits to complete. During the first visit to our office, the repair will be sized, and a temporary can be used.
We will go over the placement and what type of material is best. We recommend that for front teeth, resin or porcelain be used because it has a more natural appearance. For the back molars, metals are the best solution because they are stronger and can withstand the bite force.

Restorations With Inlays and Onlays Can Preserve Teeth
Having a decaying tooth used to mean that the inevitable extraction was in the future. Thanks to the advancements in the dental field there are several ways to prevent decay from spreading, thus saving the tooth from having to be pulled. Cavities in the tooth can be sometimes painful, and when located in the front, be a source of discontent. While this approach to solving cavities is more involved than traditional fillings, they do offer greater protection to your teeth.
