Understanding Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that repair the back teeth with mild to moderate decay or damage. They offer a conservative alternative to full crowns when the tooth structure is still mostly intact. Inlays fit within the tooth’s cusps (top edges), while onlays cover one or more cusps.

The best part? They help preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while enhancing both function and appearance. A natural-looking solution to keep your smile radiant!

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

1.

Minimally Invasive

Unlike traditional dental crowns, inlays and onlays allow for a minimally invasive approach. They preserve more of your natural tooth structure while providing strength and support.

2.

Strength & Durability

Inlays and onlays are crafted from strong and durable materials, making them resistant to wear and fracture. With proper care, they can last up to 30 years.

3.

Custom Fit

Each inlay and onlay is custom-made to fit precisely into the prepared cavity of your tooth. This helps to protect the tooth from further decay and damage.

4.

Natural Look

Inlays and onlays can be made of tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain, which can blend in with the natural color of the tooth and improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Inlays and onlays have durable longevity, often lasting between 10 to 30 years.

The Treatment Procedure: What to Expect

The treatment procedure for inlays and onlays typically requires two appointments. During the first appointment, your dentist in Palmdale will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay or damage. Then we will take an impression of the tooth, which will be used by our lab to create the custom-made inlay or onlay. We’ll fit you with a temporary filling or crown until the final restoration is ready.

During the second appointment (about two weeks later,) we will remove the temporary restoration and place the custom-made inlay or onlay.

Inlays and Onlays FAQs

If you have any questions about inlays and onlay, we’ve got answers.

The procedure traditionally required two appointments, but with advancements in CAD/CAM technology, it can now often be completed in a single visit. This technology allows for the restoration to be milled and placed on the same day.

No, the procedure is not painful. We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

With proper care, your dental inlay or onlay can last up to 15 years or more.

To ensure the longevity of your inlays or onlays, follow these care tips:

  • Brush twice daily and floss regularly
  • Use a non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the surface of the restoration
  • Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools
  • Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings
  • Consider wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth

Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dental onlays, and we offer financing options for those who need them.

Dental crowns are extremely durable, but they require good oral hygiene to ensure they last as long as possible. Always plan to brush around your crown twice a day, and be sure to floss around the crown daily. Flossing will not remove a permanent crown. However, not flossing a crown could allow bacteria to accumulate around the margins of your restoration, leading to recurring tooth decay, gum disease and bone loss, and crown failure. Be sure to plan a checkup and cleaning at Exceptional Dentistry at least twice a year to have your dental work evaluated.
