Onlays & Inlays Austin TX

What are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

Dental onlays & inlays are an excellent option for Austin TX patients with tooth decay or damage that’s too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to require a crown. At Glint, we understand the importance of restoring your oral health and maintaining a beautiful smile. We offer a variety of restorative dentistry services, including inlays, onlays, fillings, crowns, and more.

Onlays and inlays are custom-made restorations that fit into the grooves of your tooth, covering the damaged or decayed area. They’re typically made from porcelain or composite resin matched to the color of your natural teeth for a seamless, natural-looking smile.

Dental inlays are used to fill in the space between the cusps (tops) of your tooth, while dental onlays cover one or more cusps. They’re designed to be a more conservative alternative to crowns, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while providing the necessary support and protection to chew normally. With proper care, dental inlays and onlays can last for many years.

Dental onlays & inlays typically involve two visits to our Austin TX office. During your first visit, we’ll remove any decay or damage from your tooth and take a digital impression. Once your restoration is ready, you’ll return for a second visit to have it placed. We’ll ensure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable before bonding it securely to your tooth.
