What are Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair moderately damaged teeth that don’t require a full crown. Inlays fit within the cusps (center) of a tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps for larger repairs. Made from durable materials like porcelain, they restore strength, function, and aesthetics, offering a conservative alternative to crowns with a natural appearance.

 

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are ideal for teeth that are cracked, decayed, worn down, or have undergone a root canal, helping them withstand chewing while improving their look. They can also enhance the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

How It Works: Dr. Goto prepares the tooth by gently shaping it and uses digital scanning for accurate impressions to create a well-fitting crown. He discusses your preferences to design a crown that aligns with your vision. Skilled dental technicians craft the crown to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Once ready, the crown is securely placed to restore function and appearance, designed to feel comfortable and look natural. The process is straightforward, typically completed in a few visits, and crowns can last many years with proper care.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) to adjacent healthy teeth or implants. Bridges restore chewing and speaking ability while preventing remaining teeth from shifting, maintaining your smile’s alignment and aesthetics.

How It Works: Dr. Goto evaluates your oral health and designs a bridge tailored to your needs. The adjacent teeth (or implants) are prepared to support the bridge, and precise impressions ensure a perfect fit. The bridge is crafted to match your natural teeth in color and shape, then securely placed, blending seamlessly with your smile. The process typically takes a few visits, and with proper care, bridges provide long-lasting function and appearance.
