Are you looking for a restoration solution for large cavities without needing a dental crown? Inlays and Onlays provide maximum protection while maintaining a natural tooth-like appearance. Get a consultation now at Far East Dental!

When a tooth is too damaged for a standard filling but not severe enough to require a crown, Inlays and Onlays are the ideal choice. These restorative options help restore both the aesthetics and function of your teeth with exceptional durability and long-lasting results.

1. What is the difference between Inlays and Onlays?

Both Inlays and Onlays are designed to restore the chewing surface of a tooth, but they differ in their coverage:

Inlay: Fills the cavity in the central part of the chewing surface, between the cusps.
Onlay: Covers not only the central cavity but also one or more cusps, sometimes extending over the entire chewing surface.

Made from high-quality ceramic, Inlays and Onlays offer superior strength, better resistance to chewing forces compared to traditional fillings, and significantly longer lifespan.

2. Types of Inlays and Onlays restorations at Far East Dental

We offer two types of restorations:

Direct Inlays/Onlays

Made using composite material directly applied and shaped in the clinic.
A quick procedure, completed within a single appointment.

Indirect Inlays/Onlays

After cleaning the decayed area, the dentist takes an impression of your tooth and sends it to a dental lab for fabrication.
While waiting (typically 2-3 days), a temporary filling is placed.
Once the restoration is ready, it is permanently bonded to the tooth using specialized dental cement.

3. Why choose Inlays and Onlays over dental crowns?

When should you choose Inlays/Onlays?

When the tooth is too damaged for a regular filling but does not require a full crown.
When you want to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible, avoiding extensive reduction as required for a crown.
When seeking a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration.

When should a crown be considered instead?

When the tooth is severely fractured or too weak to support an Inlay/Onlay.
When full coverage restoration is necessary to ensure proper chewing function.

4. Are Inlays and Onlays expensive?

The cost of Inlays and Onlays is approximately two-thirds the price of a dental crown but significantly more durable than traditional fillings. This makes them an optimal solution for those looking to preserve their natural teeth while ensuring long-lasting strength and aesthetics.
