What are Inlays/Onlays?

When too much tooth structure is lost, inlays/onlays are the next option. An inlay/onlay can be made from a variety of materials, but porcelain is the most desirable tooth colored alternative. This process requires up to two dental visits. First is to prepare the damaged tooth for the inlay/onlay. The second visit is essentially to glue or bond the inlay/onlay permanently into your tooth.
