With proper care, inlays and onlays can often last 10 to 15 years or longer. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, dietary habits, and routine dental care. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings help protect the restoration and allow any concerns to be addressed before they become larger problems.
