Contact Mission Park Dental to learn more about this treatment option. Our dentists, Dr. Linda Wong and Dr. Benson Wong are happy to address any questions you may have.
Why Choose Inlays and Onlays?
These restorations are becoming an increasingly popular choice due to their longevity, aesthetics, and ability to preserve more of the natural tooth structure compared to crowns. Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, resin, or gold, inlays and onlays are precisely designed to fit seamlessly into the tooth structure.
The Procedure
The process for placing both inlays and onlays is generally quick and can be completed in a single visit. During your appointment, our experienced dentists, Dr. Linda Wong and Dr. Benson Wong, will assess your tooth’s condition, take necessary x-rays, and discuss the best material option for your restoration. After preparing the tooth, the inlay or onlay will be carefully fitted and bonded to your tooth, ensuring comfort and a natural look.
Maintaining good oral hygiene, keeping in contact with your dentist and hygienist via biannual hygiene visits, and avoiding super crunchy or hard foods will help prolong the lifespan of your inlays and onlays.
