Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays in Montebello – A Conservative Solution for Tooth Restoration

If your tooth’s biting surface is damaged, but a full crown is not necessary, inlays and onlays offer a durable and conservative restoration. At Pacific Dental Group in Montebello, we provide high-quality dental inlays and onlays to repair and strengthen damaged teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom restorations designed to repair moderate tooth damage, such as decay, cracks, or fractures. They are made from porcelain, gold, or composite material and are bonded to the affected tooth to restore its function and appearance.

Inlays are placed within the cusp tips of the tooth, similar to a filling but offering greater durability.
Onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, providing additional reinforcement when a full crown is not required.

Both options help protect the tooth, reduce sensitivity, and restore strength while maintaining a natural look.

The Inlay and Onlay Procedure

Restoring a tooth with an inlay or onlay typically requires two dental visits to ensure a precise and long-lasting fit.

First Visit: Preparation and Impression

The dentist removes any old fillings, decay, or damaged tooth material to prepare the tooth.
A detailed impression of the tooth is taken and sent to a dental lab for fabrication.
A temporary sealant is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent restoration is being made.

Second Visit: Placement and Bonding

The temporary sealant is removed, and the dentist will check the fit and bite alignment of the new inlay or onlay.
Once the fit is confirmed, the restoration is bonded securely to the tooth using a strong adhesive.
The tooth is polished for a smooth, natural finish, ensuring a comfortable and functional result.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

Stronger than traditional fillings – Provides better durability and resistance to wear.
Preserves more of the natural tooth – A more conservative alternative to full crowns.
Custom-made for a perfect fit – Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Prevents further decay or sensitivity – Helps protect and strengthen the tooth structure.

“"Great Dentist, Great Staff. At 57 years-old, I've had several root canals, crowns, bridges, fillings, and extractions from many dentists, some who even advertise on radio. Having tooth-pain and not willing to wait 3 weeks for my regular dentist, I went to Dr. Julius in Montebello. I got an appointment the next day and two days later had major dental work on several of my teeth. (I just got home.) I had work done by Dr. Julius and 2 other dental specialists, also dealing with 2 other people of the excellent office staff there. Dentistry is both a preffession and a busines. Or is going to a restaurant only about the chef, and not the service? They didn't serve me food. They took care of my sh*t. Each and every one of them, all seeking the same outcome: to help me. Dr. Julius could advertise on radio, with higher prices. Maybe even on TV. I watched the finals of 'America's Got Talent' last night. Unfortunately, there were no dental offices on display. When it comes to dentistry and my teeth, I know talent. I watched the winners today."”

Excellent service and reasonable prices, and cleans establishment, very professional but friendly as well."”

“"It's weird to say I loved getting the screws put to my teeth, but as far as dentists go, these guys are some of the best I've ever been to. Friendly staff as well. I recommend going to them if you're in the area and looking for some dental health care goodness."”

“"High Quality, Professional, Trustworthy. Going to the dentist usually makes people nervous, but the atmosphere here is so lighthearted and relaxing. You're definitely in good hands and won't have to worry about anything. Dr. Julius is very interactive, kind, and mindful of your comfort level at all times and it's so relieving to know that she knows what she's doing. My best dental experience by far :)"”
