    Dental Inlays & Onlays

    If your tooth is starting to decay, our dentist may recommend a dental inlay or only to repair its health and structure. An inlay and onlay is used when the damage is too great for a filling but too small for a dental crown. When you visit Tara Hills Dental for your dental inlays and onlays in Pinole, California, Dr. Feriel El Ghaoui will ensure that your treatment is comfortable and that your restoration matches your natural tooth. You can rest assured that when your treatment is complete, no one will be able to notice a difference in your smile’s appearance. For more information, and to schedule your appointment, please contact us today at 510-724-7474.

    Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that are used to repair damage or decay. If the damage is not extensive enough to warrant the use of a dental crown but is too serious to be repaired with a filling, our experienced dentist may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. Also known as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are custom created from porcelain, composite resin material, or gold. Our dentist will ensure that your custom inlay or onlay perfectly fits your tooth to restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth and conserve much of your natural tooth structure.

    Both inlays and onlays are used to restore damaged teeth. The difference between a dental inlay and a dental onlay is that an inlay is used when the damage does not reach the cusps of the tooth, while a dental onlay is used when the damage extends to one or more of the cusps. We will help you determine whether you need a dental inlay or onlay to restore your smile.
