See How Inlays & Onlays Protect Your Tooth

Your inlay or onlay is made specifically for your tooth. This means the restorative process involves a little more planning than a standard filling. However, we still make it a streamlined experience. Here’s what the experience looks like from start to finish:

  • Initial Exam – We use an intraoral camera and digital scanner to assess the tooth. Your dentist will determine whether an inlay, onlay, or another restoration like a crown is the best option.
  • Prepare the Tooth – Any decay or damage is removed carefully. We keep as much healthy tooth structure as possible before taking impressions.
  • Digital Scanning – We capture detailed digital measurements of the prepared tooth and surrounding area. We use this information to design an inlay or onlay that fits precisely.
  • Temporary Coverage – Our team will place a temporary restoration to protect. the tooth. Meanwhile, a trusted outside lab creates your custom inlay or onlay.
  • Final Placement – When your restoration is ready, your dentist places it on the tooth and confirms the fit. We’ll then bond it securely in place.

If dental visits make you nervous, laughing gas, oral sedation, and IV sedation are all available. Our team will make sure you feel confident about every step before we begin.
