Dental inlays and onlays are long-lasting dental restorations that fortify damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays and onlays are stronger than traditional dental fillings, yet less invasive than dental crowns. If you’re looking for a conservative and effective solution to restore your healthy smile, ask our doctors about inlays and onlays.

Inlays vs. Onlays: What’s the Difference?

An inlay is bonded material that remains within the tooth’s center. Restorations that cover the complete biting surface or one or more cusps of the tooth are onlays. Your knowledgeable dentists will help you choose between an inlay or onlay based on the extent and nature of your dental damage.

The Endless Advantages of Inlays and Onlays

Practically Natural | We design custom inlays and onlays that match your teeth in every way. The shape, size, and color of your restoration will fit in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

Part of your Smile | Unlike metal fillings, inlays and onlays are bonded directly to your tooth so that they can integrate with your natural smile. Your inlay or onlay will never become loose or fall out.

Save your Enamel | We want to help our patients preserve every piece of their healthy natural smile possible. If you choose to protect your teeth with an inlay or onlay, very little enamel removal is required. We are able to make your inlay or onlay procedure both precise and conservative.

Integrity Boost | An inlay or onlay will protect the integrity of the remainder of your natural tooth. Once the decay is removed and a strong inlay or onlay is in its place, you can enjoy a strong, functional, and comfortable smile.

Lasting Solution | You don’t have to lose all of the benefits of your beautiful restoration in a few months time. With proper care, your inlays and onlays can protect your teeth for years, or even a lifetime!
