Teeth Inlays and Onlays in Phoenix – Precision Restorations by Smile Fitness Dental Center

When teeth are damaged beyond what a simple filling can repair, but not to the extent of needing a full crown, Smile Fitness Dental Center offers a reliable middle-ground solution: custom teeth inlays and onlays. These advanced restorations are designed to strengthen weakened teeth, restore natural shape, and create long-lasting protection—all while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations crafted from strong, tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or ceramic.

• Inlays fit inside the grooves of a tooth, replacing damaged or decayed portions.

• Onlays extend over one or more cusps (the tooth’s chewing points), offering greater reinforcement.

At Smile Fitness Dental Center, both options are precisely crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural enamel for a smooth, functional, and beautiful result.

Why Patients Choose Inlays and Onlays at Smile Fitness Dental Center

This treatment is ideal for patients who want a durable, conservative, and aesthetic restoration. Our Phoenix patients choose inlays and onlays because they offer:

1. Superior Strength and Longevity
These restorations are stronger than traditional fillings and can withstand years of chewing pressure.

2. Natural, Aesthetic Appearance
Porcelain inlays and onlays match the color and translucency of natural teeth, providing a flawless finish.

3. Conservative Dentistry Approach
Unlike crowns, inlays and onlays preserve more of the natural tooth, maintaining a healthier structure.

4. Protection Against Future Damage
They seal the tooth tightly, helping prevent cracks, decay, and sensitivity.

5. Customized Comfort and Fit
Each inlay and onlay is made to match your bite and tooth anatomy, ensuring long-lasting comfort.

When Are Inlays and Onlays Recommended?

Our dentists may recommend inlays or onlays for:

• Moderate decay

• Large or failing metal fillings

• Cracked or fractured teeth

• Worn biting surfaces

• Teeth needing more support than a traditional filling provides

This makes them ideal for patients who want a balance of strength, aesthetics, and preservation.

The Inlay & Onlay Procedure at Smile Fitness Dental Center

The process is comfortable, precise, and completed in two visits:

Visit 1:

• Removal of decay or damaged material

• Tooth shaping and impression-taking

• Placement of a temporary restoration

Visit 2:

Patients leave with a restored tooth that looks natural and functions beautifully.

Caring for Your New Restoration

With proper brushing, flossing, and routine checkups at Smile Fitness Dental Center, inlays and onlays can last 10–20 years or longer. Avoiding excessive grinding or chewing extremely hard foods will also help extend their lifespan.
