Benefits of
Custom Dental Inlays and Onlays

Dental inlays and onlays offer superior durability compared to traditional fillings, often lasting 15 to 30 years with proper care. These custom-crafted restorations match your natural tooth color and provide excellent strength for chewing. Unlike metal fillings, they do not expand or contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of tooth fractures.

  • Preserve more natural tooth structure than crowns
  • Resist staining and wear better than composite fillings
  • Provide a precise fit for optimal comfort and function

The Inlay and Onlay Treatment
Process

Creating your dental inlays and onlays typically requires two appointments in Santa Fe, New Mexico. During the first visit, Dr. Esmael Valdez removes damaged tooth material and takes precise impressions. A temporary restoration protects your tooth while your permanent inlay or onlay is crafted in a dental laboratory. At your second appointment, the custom restoration is carefully bonded to your tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.

Restore your damaged teeth with precision-crafted dental inlays and onlays that provide lasting strength and natural beauty. Call 505-471-7000 for more information.
