What are Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used to repair teeth that are too damaged for a regular filling but not quite in need of a full crown. Often referred to as “indirect fillings,” these restorations are crafted outside the mouth and then bonded into place for a precise, long-lasting fit.
Inlays sit within the grooves of your tooth, while onlays cover a larger surface, including one or more of the tooth’s cusps. At 3D Dental Smile, we view inlays and onlays not just as dental treatments, but as a way to preserve your natural smile with strength, beauty, and respect for what already exists.
Who are Inlays & Onlays for?
Inlays and onlays are ideal for patients whose teeth have been moderately damaged by decay, trauma, or wear — when a filling just isn’t strong enough, but a crown would be more than necessary. If you’re looking to restore your tooth in a way that feels conservative, durable, and beautiful, this may be the perfect solution. They’re especially suited for people who value maintaining as much of their natural tooth structure as possible.

FAQs about Inlays & Onlays
Are inlays and onlays better than fillings?
Yes, they are stronger and last longer than traditional fillings, especially for larger areas of decay.
How long do inlays and onlays last?
With proper care, they can last 10–20 years or even longer.
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort throughout.
How many visits are needed for inlays or onlays?
Typically, two visits — one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and another to place the final restoration.
