Porcelain Inlay/Onlay/Overlay
A less expensive option is a porcelain inlay/onlay. This, obviously, blends in with the teeth much better than gold Composite Inlay/Onlay
Dental composite is a mixture of plastic and ceramic and is the material used in ‘white’ fillings. It can be produced with a colour near to the tooth colour For the first few days the onlay/overlay may feel strange in the mouth, but this will soon pass. Private treatment for inlays, onlays and overlays varies greatly between different dentists and different regions. In London expect to pay upwards of £600 for inlays/onlays.
Inlays and onlays are usually considered "major" dental procedures, which means insurance can cover up to 50 percent of the cost. In this case, you will only pay a couple of hundred dollars out-of-pocket. The prices below reflect the cost of an inlay/onlay without insurance: Inlay - $650-$1,200 (per tooth) Onlay - $650-$1,200 (per tooth)
Most dental insurance plans will cover some to all of the costs associated with the inlay and onlay procedure because these treatments are considered restorative. The prices are based on national averages. National averages suggest that: Inlays can cost from $700 to $800 Onlays can cost
between $800 and $920Dental onlay cost is typically similar to an inlay. However, these restorations tend to be larger and may cost slightly more. Treatment cost generally ranges from $650 to $1,200 per tooth, with an average price of
$900.
