Restore Strength & Protect Your Smile
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays and onlays offer the perfect solution. At SmileCross Dental, we provide custom inlays and onlays that restore strength, function, and appearance while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps of the tooth. Both options are stronger than traditional fillings and more conservative than dental crowns, making them an excellent middle-ground solution.
Cost
The cost of inlays and onlays varies depending on the material used and the extent of the damage. Many dental insurance plans may cover part of the treatment. We also offer flexible payment options to make care accessible.
Office Fees
Procedure Duration
Inlays and onlays typically require two visits—one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement. Each appointment is efficient and designed for your comfort.

Pain Level
