Inlays
Precision restorations that blend strength with natural beauty.
When a tooth has damage or decay that’s too extensive for a filling—but doesn’t require a full crown—a Inlay offers the ideal solution. At Sherman Oaks Dentistry, we use high-quality, custom-crafted porcelain inlays to restore strength, function, and aesthetics to damaged teeth.
Porcelain inlays fit precisely into the grooves of your tooth, blending seamlessly with your natural enamel while protecting your tooth from further damage. They’re durable, conservative, and virtually invisible—making them an excellent choice for long-term smile health.

• Cracked or fractured teeth (with intact cusps)
• Worn-down tooth surfaces

Temporary inlays are provided between visits, if needed.
