Restorative Inlays and Onlays Carson, CA

If you have cavities and would like an alternative to a crown, restorative inlays and onlays might be just the thing. These durable and strong alternatives to crowns and fillings are one of the options we use at Care Dental Center in Carson to help restore our patients’ smiles.

What Are Restorative Inlays & Onlays?

Restorative inlays and onlays work like a cap to protect a tooth that has been damaged by tooth decay. They are an alternative to dental fillings and crowns. They're typically made of porcelain, which makes them highly durable, non-staining, and protective. Restorative inlays and onlays can also be made out of composite resin and metals such as gold.

What Are Restorative Inlays & Onlays Used For?

Restorative inlays and onlays are used for almost everything that composite filling and dental crowns are used for. They are used to protect teeth that have been damaged by cavities. They can also be used to fix chipped or broken teeth. Sometimes restorative inlays and onlays are a great alternative to crowns when teeth need to be strengthened. Here are some of the potential applications:

Cavity treatment
Chipped or broken teeth
Weak teeth (enamel support)
Replacement of old metal fillings

What Is a Restorative Inlay?

A restorative inlay or dental inlay is a type of cover for the tooth. It's called an inlay because it sits inside the tops of the tooth.

What Is a Restorative Onlay?

A restorative onlay or dental onlay works similarly to an inlay, only an onlay is larger. It covers more of the tooth and overlaps over the sides of the tooth.

Are Restorative Inlays and Onlays Custom-Made?

Restorative inlays and onlays are made via advanced computer technology. This means that each restorative treatment is customized to the exact size and shape of your tooth. Because restorative inlays and onlays are made via computer technology, they can be designed to an almost pinpoint accuracy to securely fit your tooth.

What Are the Advantages of Restorative Inlays and Onlays?

Restorative inlays and onlays have many benefits over other techniques used to fill cavities and strengthen teeth. These benefits include:

They protect and strengthen the teeth, which means you'll be less likely to lose the tooth entirely.
They can be made to match your teeth color so they will look and feel natural.
Because they don't completely cover the tooth like a traditional crown does, you can retain more of your natural tooth.
Since they are made using the latest technology, they can be produced quickly and precisely.
They strengthen weak enamel and can potentially save a tooth from being completely lost.

What Is the Cost of Restorative Inlays & Onlays in Carson?

Your costs will depend on which type of inlay or onlay that you need and the extent of the damage to your tooth.
