Find a LocationWhat Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
Identified between a tooth-colored filling and a crown, an inlay or onlay can repair a damaged tooth. Used on the back teeth, a dental inlay covers the indented center of a tooth and an onlay covers the tooth's upper, rounded edges. Like dental crowns and fillings, onlays and inlays can be made in a variety of materials — composite resin, porcelain, and metal. We work closely with our Long Island, Manhattan, and Yonkers, NY patients to give them a better understanding of tooth-colored fillings, crowns, onlays, and inlays so they can make the best choice about treating their teeth at Concerned Dental Care.
Who Are The Best Candidates for Dental Inlays and Onlays?
An inlay or onlay is a good option if you have a cracked tooth or a large cavity that's too big to get filled but does not need the entire protection of a crown. At your dental exam, we can use your digital x-rays to determine the ideal procedure for your needs. If an onlay or inlay is chosen, we will go over the available materials that will best suit your needs. You may also discuss whether you'd prefer a direct restoration (an inlay or onlay created at our office using CEREC technology while you wait) or an indirect restoration created at a dental lab.
Concerned Dental Care Reviews
Great experience
I am new patient and this review is specific about Alexandra, who helped with scheduling and logistics. She was extremely professional, kind, and skilled in scheduling. Although there were no appointments available without a long wait, she booked an appointment for me and said she would call back if an opening came through cancellation. She texted me all of the contact information for her, the practice, the appointment information, and what I would need. And when a cancellation came up, she called me and rescheduled my appointment.Having worked in scheduling before, I know it's not magic to efficiently collect insurance info, check schedules, and follow up on cancellations -- even when it fells magical -- it's skill. Really impressive.
This is a Most Do Review..I always grow up with FEAR to dentists, this is why I ended up with very bad dental issues.. till I finally found Concern Dental .. and meet my Dentist..Dr.Evan B. Schwarz.

It's great to know when staff cares and goes the extra mile to help people make an appointment.My tooth is still savable but every in-network endodontist within a 50 mi radius had no appointments until at least August. But at concerned dental care Alexandra put me on a wait list and quickly called me back to fill the next available cancellation. So grateful; teeth are a great thing to take care of
Went to get a cleaning today with my kids, i usually go there but this time i had Beth the dental hygienist this was my first time meeting her, she was friendly, professional and so gentle, was very happy with my cleaning, thank you for your great service Beth.

What Can I Expect When Getting An Inlay or Onlay?
After applying local anesthesia to numb your gums, we will start by removing decay. Stronger techniques of sedation can be used in case you have anxiety or a powerful gag reflex. Once the enamel is cleaned, impressions will be made of the tooth. If you're receiving an indirect restoration, a temporary filling will be placed until it is prepared. Once your restoration is ready, we will carefully place and then bond it on your tooth. We may polish the edges or adjust the fit so your tooth is suitably coated and feels right.
What is the Recovery Process When Getting Inlays and Onlays?
If just local anesthesia was used, you should be able to leave after your procedure and return to your normal day. You might experience some discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity for a couple of days after your inlay or onlay is placed. Your dental inlay or onlay needs to be cleaned just like your natural teeth by flossing and brushing daily. You need to schedule annual dental exams and bi-annual cleanings at Concerned Dental Care so we can assess the health and wear of the inlay or onlay. With good maintenance, it ought to last for several years before repairing or replacing. If you experience any concerns following your procedure, please don't hesitate to give our office a call.
