Porcelain Onlays Treatment Specialist in Encino CA

Porcelain onlays are an effective solution for restoring teeth that have been damaged by decay or fracture, but do not require a full dental crown. Our skilled dentists use the latest techniques and technology to ensure your restoration is both durable and natural-looking.

The process begins with one of our compassionate dentists numbing the area around your tooth to provide maximum comfort throughout the procedure. We then carefully remove any decayed or weakened tooth structure and expertly shape the tooth to create a stable foundation for your new porcelain onlay.

Using our advanced digital imaging systems, we take precise scans or impressions of your prepared tooth. This allows us to design a custom porcelain onlay that fits seamlessly with your smile.

During your follow-up visit to Encino Advanced Dentistry, we will remove the temporary restoration and ensure your new porcelain onlay fits perfectly in both shape and color. Our team will make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and function. Once you and your dentist are satisfied with the fit, the onlay is securely bonded to your tooth with a strong dental adhesive. We finish by polishing the restoration and checking your bite to guarantee a flawless, natural feel.

If you have a tooth that is damaged, discolored, or has an old, noticeable filling, a porcelain onlay may be the ideal solution.

Porcelain onlays at Encino Advanced Dentistry are designed to cover and rebuild the chewing surface and one or more cusps of your tooth, delivering both durability and a lifelike appearance. Because porcelain closely mimics the color and translucency of natural enamel, your restoration will look and feel completely natural. Our patients also appreciate that porcelain is highly resistant to staining, ensuring your improved smile lasts for many years with proper care.

If you have received a porcelain onlay from Encino Advanced Dentistry, proper care is essential to ensure its longevity and to protect your overall oral health.

After your porcelain onlay procedure, we recommend the following tips:

• Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. This helps prevent scratching or wearing down the surface of your new porcelain restoration.
• Floss Daily: Cleaning between your teeth and around your onlay is crucial. Daily flossing helps remove plaque and food particles, reducing the risk of decay or gum disease near the restoration.
• Be Mindful of Your Diet: Avoid chewing on very hard foods, ice, or non-food objects such as pens. Excessive force can chip or crack porcelain onlays.
• Consider a Nightguard: If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth at night, please let us know. We can provide a custom nightguard to protect your onlay and your natural teeth.
• Schedule Regular Visits: Routine check-ups and professional cleanings allow our team to monitor the integrity of your onlay and address any potential issues early on.
• Avoid Abrasive or Whitening Toothpastes: These products can dull the polished finish of your porcelain onlay.
• Contact Us with Any Concerns: If you notice sensitivity, discomfort, or if your onlay feels loose or damaged, please call Encino Advanced Dentistry right away for an evaluation.

Porcelain onlays are an excellent choice for patients whose teeth have been compromised by decay or fractures. The high-quality porcelain materials we use at Encino Advanced Dentistry are remarkably strong and durable, able to withstand the daily forces of chewing and biting. This ensures long-lasting restoration and optimal function for your smile.

Natural-Looking Aesthetics:
Our team understands how important it is for your dental restorations to look natural. Porcelain onlays can be precisely color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, making them ideal for visible areas of your smile. At Encino Advanced Dentistry, we take pride in creating restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Conservative Tooth Preservation:
Unlike traditional crowns, porcelain onlays require less removal of healthy tooth structure. This conservative approach helps preserve more of your natural tooth, supporting its long-term health and strength. Our dentists are dedicated to using minimally invasive techniques that promote the longevity of your smile.

Biocompatibility and Comfort:
Porcelain is a biocompatible material, which means it is gentle on your gums and unlikely to cause allergic reactions or irritation. Your comfort and safety are always our top priorities.

Precision Fit and Protection:
We utilize advanced digital and traditional impression techniques to ensure your porcelain onlay fits perfectly. A custom fit not only feels comfortable but also provides an effective seal to protect your tooth from further decay and damage by minimizing gaps where bacteria can accumulate.
