How long do onlays and inlays last?

Porcelain onlays and inlays are extremely durable. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, they can last 10 to 20 years or longer.

Will my onlay or inlay be noticeable?

No. Porcelain restorations are carefully shaded to match your natural teeth.

Overview

Porcelain onlays and inlays are custom-made restorations used to treat cavities that are too large for a standard filling but do not require a full crown.

The Experience

A stronger alternative to large fillings

A porcelain inlay or onlay is constructed indirectly from a precise model of your teeth. This external construction allows for stronger, more durable materials than standard in-chair fillings.

Treatment Process

How porcelain onlays and inlays are made and fitted.

Inlay or onlay — what's the difference?

An inlay fits within the tooth's cusps; an onlay extends over them for broader cavities.

Tooth preparation and impressions

Decay is removed, precise impressions are taken and sent to our ceramicist, and a temporary covering protects the tooth while your restoration is made.

Fitting and bonding the restoration

The custom porcelain piece is checked for fit, adjusted if needed, and permanently bonded in place.
