Dental Inlays in Palm Desert
When a tooth has too much damage for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, a dental inlay can be an ideal solution. At Dell’Acqua Choi Dental Studio, we offer custom inlays to restore the strength, function, and appearance of your natural tooth with precision and care.
What Are Inlays?
Inlays are custom-made restorations designed to fit inside the grooves of a tooth, typically on the chewing surface of a molar and/or premolar. They are bonded in place to repair damage caused by decay or wear and are stronger and longer-lasting than traditional fillings.
Types of Inlays We Offer
- Porcelain & Ceramic Inlays – Tooth-colored and highly aesthetic, these inlays blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are ideal for visible areas of the mouth.
- Gold Inlays – Known for their exceptional durability and biocompatibility, gold inlays are often recommended for back teeth where strength and longevity are a priority.
Benefits of Dental Inlays
- Preserve more of your natural tooth structure
- Offer a stronger, more stable alternative to large fillings
- Provide long-lasting protection and improved appearance
- Custom-crafted for a precise fit and natural look
Inlays are placed over two visits—first to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and second to place and bond the inlay securely.
