Inlays Vs. Onlays

Dental Inlays
A dental inlay is a custom-made restoration that fits into the cavity of a damaged or decayed tooth. Crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or gold, inlays offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring the tooth’s structure. Inlays are an ideal choice for addressing moderate tooth damage while preserving a natural appearance.
Dental Onlays
Similar to inlays, dental onlays are also custom-made restorations designed to treat more extensive damage that extends to the chewing surface of the tooth. Onlays cover one or more cusps (points) and provide a conservative yet effective solution for restoring the tooth’s integrity. They offer the benefits of both inlays and crowns, preserving more of the natural tooth structure while providing superior strength.

What are dental inlays and onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth, while onlays cover a larger surface area. Crafted from durable materials like porcelain, they provide a natural look and strengthen weakened teeth.
Inlays and onlays offer a more substantial restoration compared to traditional fillings. While fillings are molded directly onto the tooth, inlays and onlays are fabricated outside the mouth, ensuring a precise fit and enhanced structural integrity.
At North River Dental, we commonly use porcelain and composite resin for inlays and onlays. These materials not only mimic the appearance of natural teeth but also provide durability and resistance to staining, offering long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
The process typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, impressions are taken, and a temporary restoration is placed. At the second appointment, the custom-fit inlay or onlay is bonded to the tooth, ensuring a seamless fit and restoring both function and aesthetics.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, inlays and onlays from North River Dental can last for many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices and avoiding excessive pressure on treated teeth will contribute to the longevity of these restorations.
Inlays and onlays are versatile and can be used on molars, premolars, and even front teeth. Your dentist at North River Dental will assess the extent of damage or decay to determine the most suitable type of restoration for your specific dental needs.
While inlays and onlays do not demand any extraordinary care, maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine, including regular brushing and flossing, is crucial. Additionally, scheduling routine dental check-ups at North River Dental will help monitor the condition of the restorations and address any concerns promptly.
Yes, if an inlay or onlay becomes damaged or worn over time, it can be replaced. Regular dental examinations at our Ellenton, FL clinic will allow our experienced team to assess the condition of your restorations and recommend any necessary repairs or replacements to ensure continued dental health.
Depending on the extent of damage, alternatives such as fillings or crowns may be considered. However, inlays and onlays offer a conservative option, preserving more natural tooth structure while providing effective and aesthetically pleasing results. Your dentist at North River Dental will recommend the best solution for your specific case.
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost for inlays and onlays, especially when deemed necessary for oral health. Our team at North River Dental will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and explore flexible payment options to make your dental care as accessible as possible.

I moved to this area several years ago, I have been to several dentist and have not been happy with the dentist or the office staff. A few months ago I attended a free seminar at NRD and I was so impressed with everything I saw. The dentist and staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming. I set up a follow up appointment for a consultation. I finally found a dentist office that I am totally comfortable with. Dr. Steinberg has been great and his assistant Bobble Jo is the best. She explained everything she was going to do and made me feel comfortable. I did not feel anxious like I usually do. Thank you to all the doctors and staff you are all great!!

We moved to Florida several years ago and found North River Dental through a friend’s recommendation. We wanted a private practice with personal attention to our dental needs. We have been extremely happy with their services. The staff is always welcoming and efficient. Their friendliness and smiles always put you at ease before the upcoming treatments. My dental hygienist is gentle and thorough. I could not be happier with the results when she is finished! All the dentists have been great to deal with as well. We have recommended the practice to others and will continue to do so!

North River Dental is the best Dental office I have ever used. Starting with the moment you walk in the door Delia greets you by name and the entire staff treats you with a professional and personable attitude making you feel like family. The facility is very well kept and they utilize state of the art technology. The dental treatment and planning is excellent but what I personally feel makes them stand out is how you are treated by the entire staff. It is very refreshing in this day and age to be greeted with a smile and treated as an individual with individual needs as North River Dental does with every patient.

I am 18 years old, almost 19, I’ve been going here since I was in a car seat. They have the most welcoming staff ever and their schedule is very flexible to fit you in, if needed. I got My teeth cleaned last week And I recently just found I was having a baby, my dentist told me that I would be having a girl and that is to be determined, but definitely made me feel very comfortable while she shared her journey about her baby girl. Great staff 10/10 recommend!!:)

It is very rare that I find dental workers who are patient enough with me that I feel comfortable, yet I felt so comfortable here that I was able to cry (twice) in front of these people. I didn’t mean to (obviously), but it really goes to show the people here are so kind, caring, patient & understanding that they will do whatever is in their power to help. I have a maloclusion that makes me look like a monster & could really use dental implants to stop my jaw from shifting further backwards & my teeth from shifting further on top of each other, but cannot afford them. I was able to get xrays & a consult here, so I could get an idea of what needed to he done & what I could try to save for if I ever became financially stable. I was also able to get hope that I could one day look “normal” without having to have surgery to break my jaw & reset it. I may just need braces. I doubt I could ever afford them, but the news has set my hopes ablaze as that is MUCH more attainable than a major surgery & now I won’t stop trying! But I was *TERRIFIED* walking in. As in, *shaking* terrified. Which is normal for me & dentists. And yet… the way I was treated here made me feel safe. It made me feel cared about. It made me feel like I was okay. I gradually stopped shaking. I gradually stopped feeling so terrified. And I have genuinely wished I had the $ or insurance to return for literally anything dental related, as it is almost *impossible* for me to find a dental facility where I feel that way. From the front desk to the techs to getting the xrays done to the dentist & even in the office of the person who helps you figure out the brutal reality of the finances, *every* *single* *person* in that office was the most kind, patient, respectful, caring, gentle & genuine human being I could ever hope to encounter. If you need patience & a dental place that will actually care about you as a human being… this is your haven. Please consider them. Please give them a try. I really never thought I’d find another place that would treat me so well after I moved away from New Orleans and into a smaller area like this until I got the privilege of going to North River Dental. I wish I could truly convey how much it means to me that they took the time & put in the energy to help me relax because I really don’t have the words. I hope someone from that day sees this & maybe remembers me, even if it was a while ago. Thank you. It really makes a difference. 🩵
