Inlays and onlays FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What are teeth inlays and onlays?
Teeth inlays and onlays are custom porcelain restorations for back teeth. An inlay for teeth fills the center of a tooth, while teeth onlays also cover one or more cusps, both preserving more natural tooth than a crown. For general information on these restorations, the ADA consumer site is helpful: https://www.mouthhealthy.org.
How long do inlays and onlays last?
With good care, porcelain inlays and onlays last many years. Teeth inlays and onlays are durable, well suited to chewing surfaces, and easy to maintain with regular cleanings.
Are inlays and onlays natural-looking?
Yes. Dental inlays and onlays are tooth-colored and custom-made, so they blend with your natural tooth and restore both strength and appearance.
Does getting an inlay or onlay hurt?
The area is fully numbed and the procedure is comfortable. Because we preserve more tooth than a crown requires, it is a gentle, conservative option.
Is inlay dental work the same as a dental onlay?
Almost. Some patients search inlay dental or dental inlay onlay; an inlay for teeth fills inside the cusps, while a dental onlay also rebuilds a cusp. We pick whichever inlay dental restoration preserves the most tooth, and teeth onlays are a great fit for a cracked back molar.
