Inlays & Onlays for Wilmington Patients

Dr. Pan practices in the city she chose to come home to. After a three-year prosthodontic residency at UCSF, she returned to North Carolina and settled in Wilmington, and the practice on Oleander Drive has been serving midtown, Landfall, Mayfaire, Pine Valley, and the Myrtle Grove and Masonboro corridors ever since.

For Wilmington patients, that means specialist prosthodontic care without leaving the county. Complex restorative work — full-arch implants, full mouth reconstruction, precision crown and veneer cases — is usually a Raleigh or Charlotte referral. Here it is a fifteen-minute drive from most addresses in town.

We regularly see patients from Landfall, Mayfaire, Autumn Hall, Forest Hills, Pine Valley, Sunset Park, Winter Park, Myrtle Grove, Masonboro, and Ogden, and from across the area around Mayfaire Town Center, Independence Mall.

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.

Planning Your Visit from Wilmington

Wilmington patients often come to us on referral from their own general dentist for the parts of a case that need specialist training. If you already have a dentist you like, that relationship continues — we handle the restorative work and send you back for routine care.

Inlays & Onlays in Wilmington — FAQ

Where exactly is the office in Wilmington?
We are at 5917 Oleander Drive, Suite 204, in midtown Wilmington, with free on-site parking. Most addresses in the city are a 10 to 20 minute drive.
Do I need a referral from my Wilmington dentist?
No. Many patients are referred by their general dentist, but you are welcome to book directly. If you have a dentist you like, you keep seeing them for cleanings and routine care.
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.
