What Are Inlays and Onlays?

• Definition:

  • Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations that repair moderate tooth damage.

  • They fill the gap between simple fillings and full crowns by preserving more of the natural tooth structure.

Key Differences Between Inlays and Onlays

• Inlays: Fit within the grooves of a tooth, covering areas between cusps.

• Onlays: Extend over one or more cusps, covering a larger surface area for extensive repairs.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

• Durability: High resistance to wear and tear.

• Aesthetic Appearance: Matches the natural color of your teeth for a seamless look.

• Functional Restoration: Enhances the tooth's strength and chewing efficiency.

Common Uses for Inlays and Onlays

• Teeth with decay too large for a simple filling but not requiring a crown.

• After root canal treatment to provide extra reinforcement.

• Teeth affected by fractures or significant wear.

The Procedure for Inlays and Onlays

1. First Visit:

   • The dentist removes decayed or damaged portions of the tooth.

   • Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab.

   • A temporary filling is placed.

2. Second Visit:

   • The custom inlay or onlay is bonded to the tooth, ensuring a perfect fit.

How Long Do Inlays and Onlays Last?

• With proper oral hygiene, these restorations can last 10-20 years or more.

• Routine dental check-ups ensure their longevity and performance.
