INLAYS AND ONLAYS
Strong, Seamless Restorations for Damaged Teeth
At Burbank Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer inlays and onlays as a durable, natural-looking solution for teeth that need more than a filling but less than a crown. Made from high-quality porcelain or composite resin, these custom restorations strengthen and protect your teeth while blending in beautifully with your natural smile.
Tooth damage caused by decay, fractures, or wear doesn’t always require a full crown. Inlays and onlays provide a conservative alternative that preserves healthy tooth structure while restoring strength and function with long-lasting results.
When Are Inlays and Onlays Needed?
Inlays and onlays are typically recommended when a tooth has moderate damage that is too extensive for a traditional filling, but not severe enough to require a crown. You may benefit from an inlay or onlay if you experience:
- A broken or fractured tooth with an intact cusp
- A large area of decay or an old filling that needs replacement
- Sensitivity when chewing or biting
- Weakened tooth structure that requires reinforcement
- A desire for a long-lasting, natural-looking solution
Our team at Burbank Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry will evaluate the condition of your tooth and help determine whether an inlay or onlay is the right option for your smile.
Custom Inlays and Onlays for Natural Results
Inlays fit inside the grooves of your tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps of the tooth. Both options are created to match your natural tooth color and shape, offering a seamless restoration that strengthens and supports your bite.
Benefits of inlays and onlays include:
- A precise, custom fit for optimal comfort and function
- Natural-looking materials that match your existing teeth
- Preservation of more natural tooth structure compared to crowns
- Durable results that can last many years with proper care
- Less likelihood of shrinkage or staining compared to traditional fillings
With today’s advanced materials and digital impressions, we ensure your restoration looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
