Inlays & Onlays in Beverly Hills, CA

A precise repair that saves more of your tooth.

The Sweet Spot Between a Filling and a Crown

When a Filling Is Not Enough

Some teeth are too damaged for a simple filling but don't need a full crown. Inlays and onlays fit that middle ground. They are custom-made pieces that restore the damaged part of the tooth precisely, while keeping as much of your healthy tooth as possible.


A Conservative, Lasting Fix

Because they're crafted to fit your tooth exactly and bonded into place, inlays and onlays are strong and long-lasting. Dr. Nader favors the most conservative option that will hold up, which often means saving more of your natural tooth than a crown would.


Natural-Looking and Precise

Made from tooth-colored porcelain and matched to your other teeth, these repairs blend right in. A 3D scan ensures a precise fit. It is careful, detailed work, and the kind of craftsmanship you and your teeth deserve.


What are inlays and onlays?

They are custom-made, tooth-colored restorations that repair a tooth too damaged for a filling but not needing a full crown. At Beverly Hills Dental, Dr. Nader uses them as a conservative option that preserves more of your natural tooth while restoring its strength.


Do they hurt to get?

No more than a routine repair. Dr. Nader numbs the tooth gently and works carefully throughout, and the calm, unhurried setting helps you stay relaxed. If you feel anxious about dental work, just let him know.


How long does the process take?

Inlays and onlays are usually completed over a couple of visits, one to prepare and scan the tooth, and one to bond the finished piece. Dr. Nader will confirm your timeline and explain the plan and costs before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How are these different from a filling or a crown?

    They sit in between. A filling suits smaller cavities, a crown covers the whole tooth, and an inlay or onlay restores a larger area while saving more healthy tooth.

  • Are they metal-free?

    Yes. Dr. Nader uses tooth-colored porcelain, which looks natural and fits the biocompatible focus of the practice. No metal goes into the repair.

  • How long do they last?

    With good care and regular cleanings and exams, inlays and onlays are durable and can last many years. Dr. Nader will give you simple care tips to protect them.
