Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made indirect restorations used when a tooth has damage too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to require a full crown. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Inlays fit within the cusps (top edges) of the tooth
- Onlays cover one or more cusps and extend over the sides of the tooth
- Made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin
- Custom-crafted in a dental laboratory for a precise fit
- Preserve more natural tooth structure compared to full crowns

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 The Smile Spa at least twice a year to have your dental work evaluated.
