Are you looking for a durable and aesthetic solution to restore your damaged or decayed teeth?

 

At My Dentist in Bakersfield, we specialize in high-quality dental inlays that provide a strong, natural-looking repair for your smile.
 

What Are Dental Inlays?
Dental inlays are custom-made restorations designed to fit precisely within the grooves of a damaged tooth. Unlike traditional fillings, inlays are fabricated in a dental laboratory to ensure a perfect fit and exceptional durability. They are an excellent choice for repairing moderate decay or damage that doesn’t require a crown.
 

How Is the Inlay Procedure Done?
Our inlay procedure is straightforward and comfortable

​

1. Evaluation and Preparation
During your visit, our experienced dentist will examine your teeth and take digital or physical impressions to create a precise model of your tooth.
 

2. Decay Removal and Tooth Preparation
   We carefully remove any decay or damaged tissue, shaping the tooth to prepare it for the inlay.
 

3. Temporary Restoration (if needed)
   A temporary filling may be placed to protect your tooth while your custom inlay is being fabricated.
 

4. Fabrication of the Inlay
   Using the impressions, our trusted dental laboratory crafts your inlay from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin.

​

5. Fitting and Bonding
   Once ready, you'll return for the placement appointment. We verify the fit and color match before permanently bonding the inlay to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive.

​

6. Final Adjustments
   We make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable.

Why Choose Inlays?
Inlays offer numerous benefits

• Durability: Made from strong materials, inlays can last many years with proper care.  

• Preservation of Tooth Structure: Unlike crowns, inlays require less removal of healthy tooth material.  

• Aesthetics: They can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.  

• Reduced Sensitivity: They provide a snug fit that minimizes sensitivity and discomfort.  

• Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness: Their durability means fewer replacements over time.
