The process for getting an inlay or onlay is similar to that of a dental filling but takes place over two visits. That’s because inlays or onlays are custom-created restorations that must be fabricated in our local laboratory.

The first step is to clean the area of decay or damage. We’ll take impressions, then give you a temporary restoration to protect your tooth until you get your permanent inlay or onlay. Our experienced technicians will make your inlay or onlay, and then send it back to us.

You’ll return for a follow-up where we’ll remove your temporary restoration and replace it with your permanent inlay or onlay. With the proper care, your inlay or onlay will last for years.
