Dental Inlays and Onlays in Eugene, OR

Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made, conservative solutions for restoring teeth that are too damaged for fillings but not in need of full crowns. Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth, while onlays extend over the cusps. Both are custom-crafted for a seamless fit, preserving your natural tooth structure and offering a stronger, longer-lasting solution than traditional fillings. Made from tooth-colored porcelain or composite, inlays and onlays blend beautifully with your smile and preserve more of the natural tooth.

01.

The Dental Inlay and Onlay Process

Getting a dental inlay or onlay is a comfortable, convenient process. First, your dentist removes any decay or old filling material and takes a precise digital or physical impression of the tooth. This impression is used to custom-craft your inlay or onlay, which is usually made from durable porcelain or composite resin. While your restoration is being created, a temporary piece protects your tooth. Once ready, your dentist securely bonds the inlay or onlay in place, restoring natural function, strength, and a seamless, radiant appearance.

FAQ

  • When is an inlay or onlay a better choice than a crown?

    Inlays and onlays are ideal when a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but strong enough to avoid a full crown. They preserve more natural enamel and provide lasting strength.

  • How do dental inlays and onlays differ from fillings?

    Inlays and onlays often offer a more durable and customized solution than traditional fillings. While fillings repair smaller cavities, inlays and onlays restore larger damaged areas.

  • How long do inlays and onlays last?

    With proper care and regular maintenance, dental inlays and onlays can last up to 15 years or more.
