INLAYS & ONLAYS

An inlay is similar to a filling

​

but it lies within the cusps (bumps) on the chewing surface of the tooth. An onlay is larger than an inlay - it covers one or more cusps.

Inlays or onlays can be made of gold, composite resin (plastic) or ceramics. They can last for decades. How long they last depends on:

​

  • The material used

  • The teeth involved

  • The forces of chewing

  • How well the patient maintains them with good oral hygiene and regular trips to the dentist and hygienist.
