Inlays & Onlays

Precision Restorations for Strength & Aesthetics

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays offer the ideal middle ground. These lab-crafted restorations repair moderate decay or fractures with strength, precision, and beauty.

What’s the Difference?

• Inlays fit within the cusps (edges) of a tooth.
• Onlays extend over one or more cusps for broader coverage.

Made From:

• Porcelain (most popular for aesthetics)
• Composite resin
• Gold (less common today)

Benefits of Inlays & Onlays:

• Strengthen the tooth—up to 75% stronger than a filling
• Preserves more natural tooth structure than a crown
• Resistant to staining and wear
• Can last 10–30 years with proper care
