Dental Inlays Carlsbad

At Carlsbad Coastal Dental we are proud to offer dental inlays for our patients with decay or damage a filling cannot treat. Inlays are used when the damage or decay is within the cusps (outer edges) of your tooth. The inlay is bonded to your tooth, preventing additional decay or damage. For dental inlays in Carlsbad, CA schedule an appointment with us today!

Dental Onlays Carlsbad

Interested in our dental onlays in Carlsbad? Our dental onlays are quite similar to our inlays, however, can be used when the damage or decay extends beyond the cusps of your tooth. Onlays can be a great option when the damage or decay is too extensive for a filling but does not require a dental crown.

Both our dental inlays and dental onlays can be created using porcelain or composite depending upon your preference.

Benefits of Our Dental Inlays & Onlays Carlsbad, CA

When it comes to restoring your tooth after decay or damage, our dental inlays and onlays have various benefits which may include:

  • Can be completed in just one appointment typically.

  • Unlike other restorations, inlays and onlays can strengthen the affected tooth.
  • Requires less tooth modification/enamel removal than alternative restorative options.

  • Less likely to become infected.
