Precision Restorations for Strong, Natural-Looking Teeth
Inlays and onlays are custom dental restorations designed to repair teeth with moderate damage while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. At Corona Prime Dental, inlays and onlays provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional fillings or full crowns.
These restorations are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while restoring strength and function.
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations typically created from porcelain or composite materials. An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps of the tooth.
They are bonded securely to the tooth, offering precise fit, durability, and a natural appearance.
When Are Inlays or Onlays Recommended?
Inlays and onlays may be recommended if you:
- Have moderate tooth decay or damage
- Need more support than a filling can provide
- Want to preserve more natural tooth structure
- Have a tooth that does not require a full crown
- Want a long-lasting, natural-looking restoration
Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

The Inlays and Onlays Process
The process begins with removing damaged or decayed tooth material and taking digital impressions. A custom inlay or onlay is fabricated to fit precisely. Once ready, it is bonded to the tooth and adjusted for comfort and bite alignment.
The result is a strong, seamless restoration that enhances both function and appearance.
