Inlays and onlays are partial crowns or fillings that are used to treat low to moderate tooth decay. It completes the tooth by adding tooth colored composite resin, gold or porcelain custom manufactured inserts where the tooth doesn’t have much structure left due to decay.
Inlays are similar to the conventional fillings but the addressed area is within the bumps on the chewing surface of the tooth.
Onlays are extensive in a sense that they cover one or more bumps, hence called partial crowns.

The outcomes of Inlays & Onlays can be analyzed in three main categories: health-related, aesthetical, and psychological.
Decaying teeth can affect your overall facial aesthetics. It often looks bad and can cause a bad smell. Inlays and onlays can replace the missing part of the teeth due to decay and create harmony in your facial and oral aesthetics.
Tooth decay can cause aching and sensitivity. It may affect your appetite, and consequently other health issues may present themselves. After getting inlay/onlays you can enjoy eating without having any problems.
After the treatment, you’ll get rid of your insecurities and will be more confident with your smile. It will affect your mental health in a very positive way.
The inlays & onlays treatment can be done in two different ways; indirect fillings, and direct fillings.
In the indirect approach, two visits are required. In the first visit to the dentist’s office, decay or the existing filling will be removed. During this process your dentist will apply local anesthesia, and remove the decayed area or the filling with an appropriate instrument such as a drill, air abrasion device or a laser. After your dentist makes sure the area is free of any decay/fillings, they will prepare the area for the inlay/onlay by cleaning.
Then they will take an impression of your teeth to send to a dental laboratory for your inlay or onlay to be made. A temporary filling will be placed while your inlay/onlay is being made. When the laboratory sends back the custom inlay/onlay, during your second visit the dentist will remove the temporary filling and check the fitting of the inlay/onlay. If it fits then they will cement the permanent inlay/onlay to the tooth, if it doesn’t fit a new impression can be taken to be sent to the dental laboratory for new inlay/onlay to be made.
In direct application, the same procedure is followed as in the indirect approach with the difference being the inlay/onlay is made in the dental office. This allows the procedure to be done in just one visit.
If you are considering getting inlays-onlays, it's important to be aware of the potential risks and complications.
After having an inlay or onlay placed, you may experience some discomfort and sensitivity. It is important to follow your dentist's instructions for post-procedure care to ensure a smooth recovery. During the first week after your inlay or onlay procedure, you may experience some discomfort and sensitivity. This is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. You should avoid chewing on the side of your mouth where the inlay or onlay was placed until your dentist gives you the green light. It is also important to avoid eating hard, chewy, or sticky foods, as these can damage your inlay or onlay.
As the weeks go by, you should notice an improvement in your comfort level and a decrease in sensitivity. However, you may still experience some sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages. This is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter sensitivity toothpaste. It is important to continue practicing good oral hygiene during your recovery. This includes brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and rinsing with mouthwash. You should also continue to visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms during your recovery, don't hesitate to contact your dentist.
