Inlays

Teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed may require more than traditional dental fillings to help them maintain their strength and shape. If you have a tooth with a large metal filling that needs to be replaced, a large cavity or large area of damage located within the cusps of your tooth, our Beverly Hills inlays specialist may recommend dental inlays.

Our expert in inlays in Beverly Hills can use inlays to provide you with a beautifully natural-looking smile without metal or composite resin, which is prone to staining, and we can restore your tooth’s shape and function. Dental inlays generally require two dental visits. At your first visit, your tooth will be prepared. If there is decay present, our dentist will clean it out. A dental impression will then be taken and sent to a dental laboratory, which will make the final restoration. A temporary filling may be placed to protect your tooth and ensure your comfort while you wait for the inlay.

At your second visit, our specialist for inlays in Beverly Hills will replace the temporary filling with your permanent inlay, which will be securely bonded to the tooth using special dental cement and a high-intensity light. Dental inlays generally cause no more discomfort than a direct filling, and you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after.

Specialist for Inlays Beverly Hills

Dental inlays have a number of benefits. They blend in with your natural teeth, which means they are virtually undetectable, and they are completely customized to fit your teeth, which prevents bacteria from accessing the already-damaged area. Unlike metal fillings, they do not expand or contract with temperature changes, and they allow our Beverly Hills inlays expert to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Dental inlays can last up to 30 years when carefully maintained.
