At The Center for Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry in Newport Beach, we offer inlays and onlays as a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring damaged teeth. These custom restorations are the perfect choice for repairing decay or fractures that are too extensive for a filling but don’t require a full crown.
Both inlays and onlays are crafted from high-quality materials, such as porcelain or composite resin, ensuring a natural look that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
We’ll remove the damaged portion of your tooth and take a precise impression.
Your inlay or onlay is crafted to fit your tooth perfectly.
At your follow-up visit, we’ll bond the restoration securely and polish it for a smooth, natural feel.
Inlays and onlays allow Dr. Yazdan and her associates to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. Unlike crowns, which require the removal of more tooth material, inlays and onlays only replace the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth. This conservative approach helps maintain the integrity and strength of your natural tooth.
The materials used for inlays and onlays are incredibly strong, providing a long-lasting solution to tooth damage. They are more durable than traditional fillings and can withstand the forces of chewing, making them an ideal option for molars and premolars that experience the most pressure during eating.
Dr. Yazdan and her associates customize each inlay and onlay to match the color, shape, and size of your natural tooth. The result is a restoration that blends in seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Porcelain and ceramic inlays and onlays are especially popular for their ability to mimic the translucency of natural teeth.
Because inlays and onlays are custom-made from detailed impressions of your teeth, they offer a superior fit compared to traditional fillings. This precise fit ensures that the restoration stays securely in place and helps prevent future damage or decay. Onlays, in particular, provide extra protection by covering and reinforcing weakened cusps.
Materials like porcelain and ceramic are resistant to staining, making them an excellent option for patients who want to maintain a bright, white smile. Unlike metal or amalgam fillings, inlays and onlays won’t discolor over time, helping you preserve the appearance of your teeth
Inlays and onlays are an excellent way to restore both the function and beauty of your teeth. At The Center for Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry, we specialize in precise, patient-focused care to give you the confidence to smile again.
