About this service

Inlays and onlays at DiBella Dental Care

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that fit into or onto a damaged tooth like a puzzle piece — more substantial than a filling, more conservative than a full crown. An inlay fits within the tooth’s chewing surface; an onlay extends over one or more cusps.

Because they’re crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials, inlays and onlays restore strength while preserving more natural tooth structure. Whether one is appropriate for a particular tooth depends on your individual evaluation.

How it works

What to expect

  1. Preparation

    Damaged areas are removed while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible, then impressions are taken.

  2. Custom fabrication

    The restoration is crafted to fit the prepared tooth precisely and match its natural shade.

  3. Bonding in place

    The finished piece is bonded securely, and the bite is polished for a seamless feel.
