Dental Inlays & Onlays

Inlays & Onlays offered by Redding Dentist Dr. Dutton

When decay has destroyed much of the tooth structure a dental inlays or inlays may be recommended by Dr. Dutton. Inlays and Onlays are some of the strongest and most life like dental restorations available.

Onlays and Inlays are applied much the same way we would for a standard filling, but when the tooth has been prepared  an impression is made and the Onlay or Inlay is designed out of a solid material instead of a filling composite. This offer increased strength and beauty.

Teeth that have been damaged by decay may require an inlay to restore strength and health to the tooth structure.

Dr. Dutton removes the portion of the tooth damaged by decay and prepares the tooth for an inlay

An inlay is custom designed for you to match the look and feel of your natural teeth. A inlay sometimes resembles a puzzle piece

In most cases the inlay will completely blend into the natural tooth structure restoring the tooth’s function and beauty.
