Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that repair the back teeth with mild to moderate decay or damage. They offer a conservative alternative to full crowns when the tooth structure is still mostly intact. Inlays fit within the tooth’s cusps (top edges), while onlays cover one or more cusps.
The best part? They help preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while enhancing both function and appearance. A natural-looking solution to keep your smile radiant!

The Treatment Procedure: What to Expect
The treatment procedure for inlays and onlays typically requires two appointments. During the first appointment, your dentist in Gardena will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay or damage. Then we will take an impression of the tooth, which will be used by our lab to create the custom-made inlay or onlay. We’ll fit you with a temporary filling or crown until the final restoration is ready.
During the second appointment (about two weeks later,) we will remove the temporary restoration and place the custom-made inlay or onlay.
Are Inlays or Onlays Right for You?
Inlays and onlays can be an excellent option for many patients, particularly those who:
- Have large cavities or old fillings that need replacement
- Want to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible
- Desire a more durable and long-lasting solution than traditional fillings
- Seek a natural-looking restoration that blends with their smile
During your consultation at Gardena Dental Group, our highly skilled dentist will assess your individual case and help determine if an inlay or onlay is the best solution for your needs.

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 Gardena Dental Group at least twice a year to have your dental work evaluated.
