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.

What a fantastic and friendly staff at North River Denistry ♥️ We r seasonal travelers and wasn’t sure where to go for my tooth issue. So very thankful we chose North River Denistry. Such friendly, understanding and comforting staff. From the first phone call to exam and final procedure it was a outstanding experience. They even called me the day after procedure to see how I was doing. Made me feel special and cared for. Highly recommend this office🤩🤩

Moved to Parrish 6 years ago & wondered if I’d ever find a professional dentist that’s as good as the one I had in Connecticut. Well, lucky for me, my wife found North River Dental, and they’re outstanding from their doctors to their staff. Very professional, very thorough, very nice.

This is by far the best dental office in all of manatee county. The staff are always very friendly and very accommodating and they don’t beat around the bush or try to charge you an outrageous amount of money up front. A few years ago I had to have two emergency root canals done and I called/went to about 9 other offices in the area and was turned away by all of them for the work being “too complicated” I went to north river one time and had the work done the same day. They are truly incredible at what they do!
