Inlays, Onlays, CAD CAM in Camarillo, CA
Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations designed for teeth with damage that is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to need a full crown. Here’s what makes them unique:
- Inlays fit within the cusps (top edges) of the tooth
- Onlays cover one or more cusps and extend over the sides of the tooth
- Both are made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin
- They are custom-crafted in a dental laboratory for a precise fit
- Inlays and onlays preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to full crowns

With proper care, your dental inlay or onlay can last up to 15 years or more.
To maintain the longevity of your inlays or onlays, it’s important to follow these care tips:
- Brush your teeth twice a day and floss regularly
- Use a non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching the surface of your restoration
- Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools
- Keep up with regular dental check-ups and cleanings
- If you grind your teeth, consider wearing a night guard for protection
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dental onlays. Additionally, we provide financing options for those who may need them.
Dental crowns are highly durable, but maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential to maximize their lifespan. Be sure to brush around your crown twice a day and floss daily to keep the area clean. While flossing won’t dislodge a permanent crown, neglecting to floss can allow bacteria to build up around the edges of the restoration, potentially leading to tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, and crown failure. To ensure your dental work stays in good condition, schedule a checkup and cleaning at Smile Spa Camarillo at least twice a year for an evaluation.
