How do I care for my inlays and onlays?
Caring for your inlays and onlays involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine check-ups and cleanings at OFFDENTAL. Avoid chewing on hard objects and foods, and consuming excessive sugary or acidic foods to protect your restorations and overall oral health.
Am I a candidate for inlays and onlays?

Yes, it is possible to get inlays and onlays on multiple teeth, depending on your individual needs and the extent of damage. Our team at OFFDENTAL will evaluate your teeth and develop a personalized treatment plan to address all of your restorative needs.
How do inlays and onlays compare to fillings?
