Your Smile Deserves the Best
If you’re dealing with moderate decay, an old filling, or a small fracture, an inlay or onlay could be the ideal solution. Let Empower Dental in Upland help restore your smile with care, precision, and the latest technology.
Dental Inlays or Onlays
Inlays and onlays are conservative alternatives to crowns and are perfect when a regular filling isn’t enough but a full crown isn’t necessary.
What’s the Difference Between Inlays and Onlays
- Inlays fit inside the top surface (between the cusps) of your tooth.
- Onlays cover one or more cusps and may extend over the tooth’s edge.
Both are minimally invasive, long-lasting, and tooth-colored—offering excellent function and appearance.
Benefits of Inlays & Onlays
- Preserve more natural tooth structure
- Durable and long-lasting (10–30 years)
- Made from tooth-colored ceramic
- Custom-crafted for a seamless look
- Stronger and more supportive than fillings
- Comfortable and accurate thanks to modern tech
Why You Might Need an Inlay or Onlay
You might need an inlay or onlay if you have:
- Moderate tooth decay
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Worn enamel from grinding
- Failing or outdated metal fillings
These restorations are custom-designed to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while restoring strength and aesthetics.
