Dental Onlays and Inlays in Burleson, TX
Durable Alternative to Traditional Dental Fillings: Inlays & Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are long-lasting alternatives to conventional fillings designed to restore damaged or decayed teeth with strength and precision.
- Inlays restore the area between the tooth’s cusps (the grooves inside the tooth).
- Onlays provide more extensive coverage by also protecting one or more cusps of the tooth.
Both options are custom-made for a precise fit, helping to strengthen the tooth structure, improve durability, and provide a natural-looking restoration that can last longer than traditional fillings.

What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with moderate damage or decay. They are typically crafted from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin and are designed to fit precisely into a prepared cavity for a strong, natural-looking restoration.
An inlay is used to restore the inner chewing surface of a tooth, fitting between the cusps. An onlay covers a larger area of the tooth and may extend over one or more cusps for added protection and strength.
Inlays and onlays are ideal for teeth that are too damaged for a traditional filling but do not require a full dental crown. They offer a conservative treatment option that preserves more of the natural tooth structure while restoring function, durability, and appearance.
Inlays and onlays have durable longevity, often lasting between 10 to 30 years.
