What are Dental Inlays and Onlays?

Dental inlays and onlays are two restorative dentistry treatments used to repair teeth that have been damaged due to decay or fractures. Inlays and onlays are similar in that they fill and protect the chewing surface of a tooth from future damage. However, inlays are used for smaller areas of damage within the cusp of a tooth, while onlays can cover a portion of or the entire top cusp of the tooth. Inlay and onlay restorations are strong and durable, and they are also aesthetically pleasing due to their natural-looking color. With proper care, inlays and onlays can last for many years.

Dental Inlays and Onlays Procedure

We understand that visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience, which is why we strive to make sure our patients feel at ease every step of the way. When it comes to dental inlays and onlays, our goal is to provide a safe and successful procedure. The process typically begins with an examination of the patient’s mouth to identify any damage or decay present. Once the tooth has been cleaned and prepared, we will then take impressions of the teeth and design the inlay or onlay to fit each individual’s mouth. We will then install the inlays or onlay, ensuring a comfortable, accurate fit. Finally, our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the patient is completely satisfied with their results.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are an ideal treatment for those who have suffered decay or damage to a particular tooth but do not require a full coverage dental crown. These treatments are also beneficial for restoring strength and function to damaged teeth that may have weakened due to decay or chipping.

Inlays and onlays offer many advantages when compared to full coverage crowns. Unlike traditional dental crowns, inlays and onlays preserve the natural tooth structure by only covering a portion of the damaged surface. This means that more of the healthy tooth enamel remains intact, providing superior strength for your tooth. Additionally, inlays and onlays can typically be completed in less time than dental crowns since they’re less invasive while still providing lasting protection.

patients have to say

"My kids and I have been patients of Dr. Dinh at Lake Olympia Dentist, and we couldn't be happier with the care we receive. Dr. Dinh and the entire staff are always professional, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walk in the door.

They do an excellent job making my children feel comfortable and at ease during their appointments, which is something every parent appreciates. Dr. Dinh takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and genuinely cares about his patients' dental health."

"I recently visited Dr Dihn’s dental office as a new patient and was very pleased with my experience. His staff was welcoming and professional throughout my visit. His hygienist, Allie, took the time to explain procedures related to my cleaning clearly to me, which made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The office was clean, organized, and efficient. I left feeling confident that I’ve placed my dental care in the right hands. All in all, great visit and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist."

" I came here to get a second opinion from a not so comfortable experience prior. Miaa, Dr Dinh, and Shannon were the sweetest and I 100% recommend coming here. My dental anxiety was easier to manage around them. Dr. Dinh is super comfortable to be around we even shared the same favorite cartoon. He recommended a game plan on my back bottom molar that is gonna end up needing a root canal or extraction. Nervous for the journey, but it’ll be ok!"

Rikki HER Harris

I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.
