What to Expect During Treatment

First, Dr. Arora removes damaged or decayed tooth structure and prepares the area for restoration. An impression or digital scan is then used to create your custom inlay or onlay.

Depending on the restoration and laboratory process, you may receive a temporary restoration while your permanent one is being fabricated. At the follow-up appointment, the custom restoration is checked for fit, bite, and appearance before being securely bonded or cemented into place.

An inlay generally fits within the tooth's chewing surface, while an onlay can extend over one or more cusps when damage is more extensive.
Are inlays and onlays better than fillings?
Light Blue Plus Icon
It depends on the tooth and extent of damage. Your dentist can determine whether a filling, inlay, onlay, or crown is most appropriate.
Do inlays and onlays look natural?

Many are made from tooth-colored materials and can be designed to blend with the surrounding teeth.
