Inlays & Onlays
Keeping your smile strong and stunning!
When it comes to restoring your teeth, sometimes a filling won’t cut it, and a crown is just too much. That’s where inlays and onlays come in—a perfect middle ground for keeping your smile strong and stunning.
What Are Inlays & Onlays?
When a tooth is damaged or decayed but doesn’t require a full crown, these custom-made restorations provide a perfect solution. Inlays fit snugly within the grooves of your tooth, while onlays cover a bit more, including one or more cusps. Crafted from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, they’re designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, keeping your smile both healthy and beautiful.
Who’s It For?
Inlays and onlays are perfect for anyone with moderate tooth decay or damage that needs more than a simple filling but doesn’t require a full crown. They’re ideal if you want to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while still restoring its strength and function. If you’re looking for a long-lasting, aesthetic solution that keeps your smile looking fresh, inlays and onlays are for you!

FAQs
What’s the difference between an inlay and an onlay?
An inlay fits within the grooves of your tooth, while an onlay covers a larger area, including one or more of the tooth’s cusps. Both are custom-made to restore your tooth’s strength and appearance.
Are inlays and onlays better than fillings?
Inlays and onlays are more durable and longer-lasting than traditional fillings. They’re ideal when a filling isn’t enough to restore your tooth but you don’t need a full crown.
How long do inlays and onlays last?
With proper care, inlays and onlays can last 10-20 years, making them a fantastic long-term solution for tooth restoration.
Does the procedure hurt?
Not at all! We use local anesthesia to ensure you’re completely comfortable during the process. Plus, our friendly team is here to make sure you’re relaxed and at ease.
