Inlays & Onlays for Jacksonville Patients

Jacksonville is defined by Camp Lejeune, and the military population shapes what we see. Service members and their families move often, which means dental work started in one state and finished in another, records that are incomplete, and treatment plans that were interrupted by a transfer.

Picking up a partially completed case is genuinely harder than starting fresh, and it is routine prosthodontic work. Dr. Pan regularly takes on implant cases where the implant was placed elsewhere, or reconstructions that were planned somewhere else and never finished.

We regularly see patients from Jacksonville, Piney Green, Richlands, and the Camp Lejeune area, and from across the area around Camp Lejeune, New River Air Station.

Inlays & Onlays

What Are Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used when a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but doesn't need a full crown.

An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay also covers one or more of its points (cusps). Both are crafted to match your tooth and bonded securely for a precise, natural-looking repair that preserves more of your healthy tooth.

Inlays & Onlays in Jacksonville — FAQ

How long is the drive from Jacksonville?
About an hour south on US-17. We schedule Onslow County patients in longer blocks so a single trip accomplishes more.
I have a partially finished implant case from another state. Can you take it over?
Usually yes. Bring whatever records, X-rays, and implant component details you can get from the previous office. Knowing the implant system used makes restoring it far more straightforward.
What is the difference between an inlay and an onlay?
An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay also covers one or more of the tooth's raised points. Both repair larger damage conservatively.
How are they different from a filling?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made in a lab and bonded to the tooth, making them stronger and longer-lasting than a standard filling for larger areas of damage.
Do they look natural?
Yes. They are color-matched to your natural tooth so the restoration blends in seamlessly.
Am I a good candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you have a tooth that is too damaged for a filling but doesn't require a full crown.
