The process of getting inlays or onlays involves taking impressions of your teeth using an intraoral scanner. These impressions are then sent to a dental laboratory, where a technician creates the custom inlay or onlay. In the meantime, a temporary filling is placed. Once the permanent restoration is ready, the temporary filling is removed, and the inlay or onlay is bonded in place using an adhesive.

The benefits of inlays and onlays include their ability to effectively restore teeth with substantial damage or larger cavities. They are made from durable materials that restore tooth function while preserving existing tooth structure. The porcelain used for inlays and onlays also provides a natural-looking appearance, seamlessly blending with your other teeth for an aesthetically pleasing result.
