Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations that are used to repair teeth with moderate to significant damage. They are often referred to as “partial crowns” because they cover a portion of the tooth’s chewing surface.
- Inlays: Inlays are similar to fillings but are custom-made in a dental laboratory and bonded to the tooth. They are used to fill cavities within the cusps (the raised points) of the tooth.
- Onlays: Onlays are larger than inlays and cover one or more cusps of the tooth. They are often used when the damage extends to the edges of the tooth.

- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-made inlay or onlay.
- Temporary Restoration: A temporary restoration is placed while your inlay or onlay is being fabricated.
