Restoring your tooth with precision and care
As your trusted Medford Inlays & onlays dentists, we provide custom-made restorations to repair teeth affected by moderate decay or damage, especially when a full crown isn’t necessary. These restorations are crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials for a seamless, natural look and long-lasting function.
- Inlays fit within the grooves of a tooth, much like a filling, but offer greater durability.
- Onlays cover a larger portion of the tooth and may extend over one or more cusps, providing extra protection and reinforcement.
Why should you get inlays or onlays?
Benefits include:
- KEnhanced strength and support for weakened teeth
- KPrecise, custom fit for optimal comfort and function
- KNatural appearance with tooth-colored materials
- KPreservation of more of your natural tooth than with a crown
What to expect during treatment
Our Medford inlay or onlay process typically takes two appointments:
- Initial Visit:
- KWe’ll numb the area, remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, and take impressions. A temporary filling will be placed while your custom restoration is being made at a premium lab. Placement Visit: Once your inlay or onlay is ready, we’ll check the fit, make adjustments, and permanently bond it to your tooth for a strong, seamless result.
