Understanding Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations designed to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or fracture. An inlay fits within the cusps of a tooth, similar to a filling but stronger and more precisely crafted, while an onlay extends over one or more of the tooth’s cusps for broader coverage.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

1. Tooth Preservation

Unlike crowns, inlays and onlays require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure, keeping more of your natural tooth intact for long-term oral health.

2. Strength & Durability

These restorations are precision-made for a precise fit and are known to last significantly longer than traditional fillings, making them a smart, lasting investment.

3. Improved Oral Hygiene

Because inlays and onlays fit so precisely, they are easier to clean around and less likely to harbor bacteria, supporting a healthier smile over time.

4. Natural Look

Inlays and onlays are crafted from tooth-colored materials that closely mimic the appearance of natural enamel, so your restoration will be virtually undetectable.

Inlays and onlays have been used in restorative dentistry for decades and remain one of the most reliable solutions for moderately damaged teeth.

Our Inlays and Onlays Process

Consultation

Dr. Aria Irvani will examine your tooth, take digital X-rays, and determine whether an inlay or onlay is the best restoration for your needs.

Tooth Preparation

The damaged or decayed area of your tooth is gently removed, and the tooth is shaped to accommodate the custom restoration.

Temporary Restoration

Precise impressions are taken and sent to our dental lab to fabricate your custom inlay or onlay, while a temporary restoration protects your tooth in the meantime.

Placement & Bonding

Once your restoration is ready, Dr. Irvani will carefully bond it into place, check your bite, and make any final adjustments for a comfortable, seamless fit.
