Inlays and onlays are highly durable and don’t demand any special care beyond regular oral hygiene. Patients can maintain their usual routine—brushing twice daily and flossing once a day—and the restorations will stay in good condition. That said, since these are artificial restorations, it’s wise to take a few precautions. Avoid biting down on hard substances such as ice or nutshells, as this can reduce the risk of chipping or damaging the inlay or onlay.
