DENTAL INLAYS & ONLAYS IN ELCAJON COUNTY
If you have one or more decayed or damaged teeth and want to enhance both your oral health and the appearance of your smile, dental inlays or onlays might be the perfect solution. At Magnolia Dental, we offer these restorations as a more aesthetically pleasing and effective alternative to traditional fillings.
What Are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are custom restorations used to repair teeth affected by decay or damage. Unlike standard fillings, these restorations cover the entire chewing surface of a tooth, offering enhanced strength and protection. Designed to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with your smile for a flawless, attractive look.
Signs You Might Need an Inlay or Onlay
Your dentist will determine the best treatment for your specific needs, but some common signs that you may benefit from an inlay or onlay include:
- A cavity that is too large for a conventional filling
- Decay or damage on the chewing surface of a tooth
- Noticeable discoloration on one or more teeth
The Process of Getting a Dental Inlay or Onlay
At Magnolia Dental, our inlay and onlay process is straightforward and designed for your comfort:
1- Initial Examination:
Your dentist will carefully examine the affected tooth to determine whether an inlay or onlay is the optimal solution.
2- Tooth Preparation:
The dentist removes any remaining decay and prepares the tooth’s surface for the restoration.
3- Impression & Custom Fabrication:
An impression of the prepared tooth is taken and sent to our trusted dental laboratory, where a custom inlay or onlay is crafted to precisely fit your tooth.
4- Bonding the Restoration:
Once your custom restoration is ready, it is bonded securely to your tooth, restoring both function and appearance.
