About This Service

What Are Inlays
& Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that repair moderate tooth damage while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Inlays restore an area within the cusps of a back tooth. Onlays extend over one or more weakened cusps when broader coverage is needed. Material options may include ceramic, composite, or metal depending on the case.

Unlike a direct filling shaped entirely in the mouth, an inlay or onlay is designed outside the tooth from a digital scan or impression and then bonded or cemented. This allows controlled contours while preserving portions of the tooth that do not need crown coverage.

Why Inlays & Onlays

Benefits of Conservative
Restorations

Inlays and onlays offer the best of both worlds, the strength of a crown with the tooth preservation of a filling.

Preserves More Tooth

Unlike full crowns, inlays and onlays only replace the damaged portion, preserving healthy tooth structure.

Stronger Than Fillings

Porcelain and ceramic inlays are up to 75% stronger than composite fillings and more resistant to wear.

Natural Appearance

Custom-crafted from tooth-colored materials, inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care, inlays and onlays placed at our Leesburg office can last 15-30 years.

Common Questions

Inlays & Onlays
FAQ

Answers to common questions about inlays and onlays at our Leesburg, VA dental practice.

What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?
An inlay fits within the cusps (bumps) of a tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps. Both are used when damage is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a full crown.
How many visits are needed for an inlay or onlay?
At our Leesburg office, inlays and onlays typically require two visits, one for preparation and impressions, and one for placement. In some cases, same-day CEREC restorations are possible.
Are inlays and onlays covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover inlays and onlays as a restorative procedure. Our Leesburg team will verify your benefits and provide a cost estimate before treatment.
How do I care for my inlay or onlay?
Care for inlays and onlays just like natural teeth, brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular check-ups at our Leesburg office. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pen caps.
