Inlay & Onlay Restorations in Long Beach, CA
RESTORING YOUR SMILE
Dental inlays and onlays are important restorations that are used to repair teeth that suffer from mild to moderate decay. They are also used to restore cracked or fractured teeth if the damage or trauma isn’t severe enough to require a full dental crown.
The only difference between inlays and onlays is that an inlay will only fill the area between cusps, while an onlay covers the cusp of the tooth. If you’re in need of a filling, it will be custom-made and you will be free to choose what material best suits your needs, budget, and aesthetic. Fillings are often made with porcelain that matches the color of your natural tooth, but can also be made of composite material, gold, or silver.
They are highly durable and last many years, giving you a beautiful smile long into the future.

RESTORATION PROCESS
The steps are as easy as 1-2-3!
After an exam, we’ll take mold impressions to create your custom inlay or onlay and a temporary restoration.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will clean and shape it before applying your temporary filling.
Later, once your new inlay or onlay has been created, it will be fitted and placed on your tooth so you can enjoy long-lasting results.
