What Are Inlays and Onlays?

An inlay is a small, tooth-shaped piece of porcelain or composite resin that is used to fill in the space left by a small cavity. The inlay is placed on the chewing surface of the tooth, in between the cusps (points). Inlays are an alternative to fillings and are often used when the cavity is too large for a filling but too small for a crown.


An onlay is similar to an inlay, but it is larger and covers more of the tooth. The damage at this point likely extends to one or more cusps. Onlays are used when the tooth is too damaged for an inlay but not so damaged that it needs a full crown.

The Advantages of Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and inlays are very durable and can last a lifetime with proper maintenance. They are also cheaper than dental crowns. If you have a small cavity or chip, an inlay or onlay might be the right solution for you. They have a window of advantages for cosmetic restorations including:

Provides added strength/support for your damaged tooth

Seamless blending with real teeth

Often completed in a single appointment

Schedule a Consultation For Inlays and Onlays

Getting onlays and inlays usually takes two visits to our office. During the first visit, both inlays and onlays are made from impressions of your teeth, so they will fit securely and look natural. The dentists at Vida Dental have over 30 years of combined experience and can help you decide if an inlay or onlay is right for you. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about these dental restoration options.

"I've been seeing Dr. Patel for a few years now because Vida Dental has provided the best dental care I have experienced. He has always been very honest and straight forward with me, I truly feel like he cares about my health more than he does receiving my money. I also trust his knowledge and advice fully. Everyone else on the staff has also always been very lovely and genuine."

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan for years, and wouldn’t trust my teeth with anyone else!! She’s the best dentist I’ve ever had—we’ve done clear care, whitening, cavity filling and cleanings and it’s always a pleasant experience. She cares deeply but is fun. I always enjoy going into the office and literally fly from New York to Austin to see her now! It’s totally worth the trip :)"
