626-965-7445Dental inlays and onlays are restorative dental procedures that can help preserve and enhance the health and appearance of your teeth. They are commonly recommended when a tooth has suffered damage or decay that a dental filling cannot fix but not severe enough to warrant a full dental crown. Inlays and onlays are an effective way to restore the structural integrity of your tooth, prevent further deterioration and maintain your beautiful smile.
Dental inlays and onlays are typically recommended when you have a tooth with moderate to large cavities or structural damage, such as a fractured cusp. They provide a more conservative solution than dental crowns and can be used in cases where a standard filling may not provide sufficient support. Our dentist will evaluate your specific situation to determine if inlays or onlays are the right choice for you.
The procedure involves a few steps. First, Dr. Ana Cariaga will remove any damaged or decayed portions of the tooth. Then, they will use an impression of your teeth to custom-fit your inlay or onlay. You will receive a temporary restoration until the permanent one is ready. Once your custom restoration is fabricated, our dentist will bond it to your tooth, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing result.
Dental inlays and onlays help preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible, providing a more durable and long-lasting solution compared to standard fillings, and enhances the strength and appearance of the treated tooth. They can help you maintain a healthy, functional and beautiful smile for years to come.
