Inlays, Onlays, CAD CAM in North Hollywood, CA
Understanding Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that repair damaged or decayed teeth while preserving more healthy tooth structure than traditional crowns. At 1st Choice Dental, your North Hollywood dentist uses these conservative treatments to restore teeth when damage is too extensive for a simple filling but doesn’t require a complete crown. Inlays fit within the cusps (points) of your tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps.

The Treatment Procedure: What to Expect
Getting an inlay or onlay typically involves two appointments:
- Preparation: Your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the inlay or onlay. An impression is taken to create a custom restoration.
- Placement: Once the inlay or onlay is fabricated, you’ll return for the second appointment. We will carefully bond the restoration to your tooth, ensuring a precise fit and comfortable bite.
Are Inlays or Onlays Right for You?
You might be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have a large cavity that’s too big for a filling
- Need to replace an old, failing filling
- Have moderate tooth damage or decay
- Want to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible
- Desire a long-lasting, aesthetic restoration
Your dentist in North Hollywood will evaluate your oral health and discuss your specific needs to determine if an inlay or onlay is the right solution for you.

If you have any questions about inlays and onlay, we’ve got answers.
The procedure traditionally required two appointments, but with advancements in CAD/CAM technology, it can now often be completed in a single visit. This technology allows for the restoration to be milled and placed on the same day.
No, the procedure is not painful. We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
With proper care, your dental inlay or onlay can last up to 15 years or more.
To ensure the longevity of your inlays or onlays, follow these care tips:
- Brush twice daily and floss regularly
- Use a non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the surface of the restoration
- Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools
- Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings
- Consider wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dental onlays, and we offer financing options for those who need them.
Dental crowns are extremely durable, but they require good oral hygiene to ensure they last as long as possible. Always plan to brush around your crown twice a day, and be sure to floss around the crown daily. Flossing will not remove a permanent crown. However, not flossing a crown could allow bacteria to accumulate around the margins of your restoration, leading to recurring tooth decay, gum disease and bone loss, and crown failure. Be sure to plan a checkup and cleaning at 1st Choice Dental at least twice a year to have your dental work evaluated.
