What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made dental restorations designed to repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma. An inlay fits snugly within the grooves of a tooth without affecting the tooth’s outer cusps. An onlay, also called a partial crown, covers one or more cusps of a tooth for additional reinforcement. Learn more about the differences between inlays and onlays, including:

  • Placement Area
    • Inlay – Fits within the tooth’s grooves.
    • Onlay – Extends to cover one or more chewing cusps.
  • Tooth Coverage
    • Inlay – Does not cover the outer edges of the tooth.
    • Onlay – Covered damaged cusps for greater protection.
  • Functionality
    • Inlay – Repairs less extensive damage.
    • Onlay – Addresses larger areas of decay or trauma.
  • Durability
    • Both inlays and onlays are crafted from highly durable materials, such as porcelain and composite resin, to provide strength and aesthetic appeal.
