Inlays & Onlays
Restore Strength and Preserve Your Natural Smile
For teeth with moderate damage or decay, inlays and onlays offer a long-lasting solution that’s stronger than fillings and more conservative than crowns. Veda Family Dentistry customizes these restorations to blend seamlessly into your smile.
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are precision restorations crafted in a dental lab and used when a filling isn't enough but a crown would be too aggressive. Inlays fit within the grooves of your tooth’s chewing surface, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Both options offer a minimally invasive way to reinforce and protect damaged teeth.
Preservation of Natural Tooth Structure
Unlike crowns, which require more extensive enamel removal, inlays and onlays preserve as much of the healthy tooth as possible. Bonded securely into place, they can actually strengthen your tooth by up to 75%, making them both restorative and preventative.
Materials We Offer
Porcelain/Ceramic: Highly aesthetic and stain-resistant
Composite Resin: Repairable and tooth-colored for natural blending
Gold: Exceptional strength and longevity, ideal for molars
Each option has unique benefits, and we’ll guide you to the best fit for your specific needs.
How the Procedure Works
At your first visit, we gently remove decay and take digital impressions of the tooth. A temporary restoration is placed to protect the area. Once your custom inlay or onlay is ready, we bond it in place using a high-strength adhesive. Final polishing ensures a seamless finish and functional bite.
Why Choose Inlays and Onlays?
Compared to fillings, they offer better longevity and structural support. Compared to crowns, they preserve more of your healthy enamel. Patients often enjoy improved durability, minimal sensitivity, and natural-looking results that function beautifully.
Longevity and Care
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, inlays and onlays can last 10 to 30 years. To extend their life, avoid biting hard objects and address grinding or clenching with a custom nightguard. We’ll assess the restoration at every checkup to ensure it’s holding up well.
Who Benefits Most?
Ideal for patients with moderate decay, cracked fillings, or post-root canal treatment, inlays and onlays are a smart, conservative option when strength and aesthetics both matter. Our team carefully evaluates your condition to recommend the right restoration for your smile.
