Identified between a tooth-colored filling and a full crown, an inlay or onlay can restore a decayed or damaged tooth. Used on molars and pre-molars, an inlay covers the indented center of a tooth while an onlay covers the tooth's upper, rounded edges. Like dental fillings and crowns, inlays and onlays can be made with different materials — porcelain, metal, and composite resin. Our dental team is dedicated to helping our patients better understand onlays and inlays and how they can enhance your oral health so you can make the best choice about how to treat your tooth. For more information contact East Village Dental Center to schedule your consultation in New York, NY.

An inlay or onlay is a fantastic option when you have a damaged tooth or a large cavity that is too big to get filled but doesn't require the full coverage of a crown. At your dental exam, we will examine your digital x-rays to determine the ideal treatment for your tooth. If an inlay or onlay is chosen, we will discuss the available materials that will best meet your requirements.

I really like this office, I'm glad I started coming here because of the location and staff is awesome. The doctor was very patient and thorough, she explained the procedure I have to have done in detail and I like that she didn't rush the visit. The front desk girls are great, very kind and welcoming. The office is nice and clean, very pleasant environment. I like that they don't overbook like many other offices do. I had to wait maybe 10 min until I was called to be seen. Overall I had a great experience so far. I recommend this dental office to all.

After applying local anesthesia to numb your gums, we will begin by removing areas of decay. When the enamel is cleaned, impressions will be made of the tooth so your customized inlay and/or onlay can be crafted. Once the inlay or onlay is ready, we will have you come back in so we can carefully place and bond it to your tooth. We may polish the edges or adjust the fit so that your tooth is suitably coated and feels right.

If only local anesthesia is used, you can leave after your appointment and return to your regular activities. You might feel mild discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity for a couple of days once your inlay or onlay is placed. Please contact our New York City office should you have any concerns after your procedure. Your inlay or onlay should be taken care of like your natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing. You need to schedule yearly dental examinations and bi-annual cleanings at East Village Dental Center so we can assess the wear and health of the onlay or inlay. With appropriate maintenance, it should last for many years before needing to be repaired or replaced.

Our dental team can personalize your procedure with restoration materials to go with your budget. We will go over price quotes and payment methods we accept, including low-cost medical financing, during your consultation so we can create a treatment plan that fits your goals and your budget.
