Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations designed to repair back teeth with mild to moderate decay or damage. They’re a more conservative option than full crowns, ideal when most of your tooth is still healthy. Inlays fit inside the tooth’s biting surface, while onlays extend to cover one or more of the cusps.
The best part? They strengthen your tooth while preserving as much natural structure as possible and they look great too, blending seamlessly with your smile.

The Treatment Procedure: What to Expect
Getting an inlay or onlay usually takes two visits. At your first appointment, your expert dentist in Fullerton, Dr. Zhang, will remove any decay or damage and prepare the tooth. Then, we’ll take an impression to send to our lab, where your custom restoration will be made. In the meantime, you’ll wear a temporary filling or crown to protect the area.
At your second visit, typically about two weeks later, we’ll remove the temporary restoration and securely place your inlay or onlay, making sure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable.
Are Inlays or Onlays Right for You?
Inlays and onlays are a great option for patients who:
- Have large cavities or worn-out fillings
- Want to preserve more of their natural tooth
- Prefer a longer-lasting alternative to traditional fillings
- Are looking for a restoration that blends naturally with their smile
During your consultation at Fullerton Smile Dentistry, our highly skilled dentist, Dr. Zhang will evaluate your needs and help you decide if an inlay or onlay is the right choice for you.

No, the procedure is not painful. We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
With proper care, your dental inlay or onlay can last up to 15 years or more.
To help your inlay or onlay last as long as possible, follow these simple care tips:
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the restoration’s surface
- Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth to open things
- Keep up with regular dental checkups and cleanings
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth while sleeping
With the right care, your restoration can stay strong and look great for many years.
Most dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of dental onlays, helping to make treatment more affordable. If needed, we also offer flexible financing options to help you manage any out-of-pocket expenses.
Dental crowns are built to last, but they still need proper care to stay in great shape. Make sure to brush around your crown twice a day and floss daily—flossing won’t loosen a permanent crown, but skipping it can lead to plaque buildup around the edges. That buildup can cause decay, gum disease, and even crown failure over time.
To keep your crown and overall oral health on track, schedule regular checkups and cleanings at Fullerton Smile Dentistry at least twice a year so we can make sure everything is holding up well and catch any issues early.
