Dental Inlays & Onlays in Sherman Oaks
What Are Dental Inlays & Onlays?
- Inlay: Fits inside the cusps (grooves) of the tooth — much like a puzzle piece.
- Onlay: Covers one or more cusps and the chewing surface — often referred to as a “partial crown.”
Both options are custom-made in a dental lab to ensure the highest level of precision, comfort, and durability.
When Do You Need an Inlay or Onlay?
Inlays and onlays are recommended when:
- A tooth has a cavity too large for a filling
- A tooth is cracked, fractured, or weakened
- Old fillings are failing or breaking down
- A tooth needs reinforcement without full crown coverage
- Patients want a stronger, longer-lasting solution than traditional fillings
Benefits of Inlays & Onlays
- More conservative than crowns — preserves natural tooth structure
- Strong and durable — withstand chewing forces
- Long-lasting — 10 to 15+ years with proper care
- Resistant to staining and wear
- Custom-shaded to match your natural teeth seamlessly
Our Inlay & Onlay Process
Step 1 – Exam & Consultation
We begin with a full exam and digital imaging to determine if an inlay or onlay is the right option.
Step 2 – Tooth Preparation
Any decay or old filling material is removed, and the tooth is cleaned and shaped.
Step 3 – Digital Impressions
We take digital scans or impressions of your tooth to create a custom-fit restoration.
Step 4 – Temporary Filling
While your restoration is being fabricated in the lab, a temporary filling protects your tooth.

Step 5 – Final Placement
The custom inlay/onlay is bonded securely to the tooth, polished, and adjusted for a natural bite.
