What Exactly Are Dental Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays are placed within the tooth’s biting surface, not extending over the cusps. Onlays cover one or more cusps if damage is more extensive.

Both are custom-made from materials like porcelain, zirconia, or composite to match your tooth color and restore strength.

Who Needs Inlays or Onlays?

  • Moderate Caries: Too large for a simple filling but not enough damage for a full crown.
  • Worn or Cracked Fillings: Replace old restorations with a more secure, longer-lasting option.
  • Fractured Teeth: Reinforce weakened tooth structure without resorting to a full crown.
  • Desire a Conservative Approach: Preserve healthy enamel while fixing the damaged areas.

Key Benefits of a Inlays and Onlays

  • Natural Appearance: Crafted to match your exact tooth shade, providing a seamless, invisible repair.
  • Tooth Preservation: Less drilling than a full crown, so more of your healthy tooth remains intact.
  • Durability: Made from porcelain, zirconia, or high-strength composite. They often last 10–15 years or more with proper care.
  • Comfort & Fit: Custom-designed to fit your bite, reducing the risk of discomfort or sensitivity.

"You’ll leave a new person with new experiences and a great bright smile."

William Rivera

"From the arrival in Cancun I was greeted with amazing hospitality. When you hear other clients say they treat you like family that is exactly what you get as soon as you walk in the door. The facility is second to none.

I came with a smile I was really not proud to display however I left with an amazing Hollywood sonrisa (Spanish for smile) that I honestly left a completely rejuvenated person with my confidence I haven’t had in a very long time. Take action. You’ll leave a new person with new experiences and a great bright smile. It was my honor writing this review, until next time. Adios Cancun Con Mucho Amor."

John Schmalzried

"I am in Cancun for many months and while here found “Cancun Cosmetics Dentistry”, at a mall called Plaza Las Americas. One day I just stepped in and asked about their services, I was told that I could have a new and better looking set of teeth, so I decided to go through with it and everything went like clockwork. 

Bottom line is, if you are in need of cosmetic dentistry and wondering where to go I would be willing to say you too will be surprised at the quality and care given to you by the entire staff that you will be happy you had chosen them."

Common Questions Our Patients Ask

What’s the Difference Between Inlays and Onlays?

  • Inlays: Repair damage within the cusps (indented top surfaces) of a tooth.
  • Onlays: Repair damage that extends to one or more cusps, covering a larger area.

Are Inlays and Onlays Better Than Fillings?

Yes, inlays and onlays are stronger, more durable, and more aesthetically pleasing than traditional fillings. They also preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Fillings work best for small cavities; inlays or onlays are ideal for larger areas.

Can Inlays and Onlays Be Used on Front Teeth?

Inlays and onlays are typically used on rear teeth (molars and premolars) because these teeth experience the most wear and tear. For front teeth, veneers or bonding are usually recommended.

How Long Do Inlays and Onlays Last?

With proper care, inlays and onlays can last 10-15 years. Their longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, diet, and the material used.

Is the Procedure Painful?

No, the procedure is virtually painless. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort during the process. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days.

What If the Damage Is Too Extensive?

If a tooth has severe decay or structural loss, a full crown may be recommended. We’ll always discuss which option suits you best.
