Why Choose Porcelain Inlays at Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry
Porcelain inlays are a conservative alternative to traditional fillings or crowns. They are custom crafted in a dental lab to fit precisely in the damaged area of your tooth, providing strength and durability without compromising aesthetics. At Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry, we use advanced imaging and impression techniques to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.

FAQs
What are porcelain inlays?
Porcelain inlays are custom-made restorations used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. They fit inside the tooth’s chewing surface and are bonded permanently to restore strength and appearance.
How long do porcelain inlays last?
With proper care, porcelain inlays can last 10 to 20 years or more. They are highly durable and resistant to staining compared to traditional fillings.
Is the porcelain inlay procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable throughout.
How do porcelain inlays compare to fillings or crowns?
Inlays are more conservative than crowns because they preserve more of your natural tooth. They’re stronger and longer-lasting than traditional fillings, especially for larger cavities.
Can I get a porcelain inlay if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes, porcelain inlays can help protect sensitive teeth by sealing and reinforcing the damaged area. Our team will evaluate your specific condition to determine the best treatment.
