Inlays and Onlays

Small problems require small solutions. However, time is the biggest factor for a small problem becoming a larger, uncomfortable and costly problem. The earlier any damage or decay to a tooth is caught and dealt with, the better. It enables a highly skilled dentist like Dr. Kelley Mingus to save more natural tooth structure and support.

Inlays and Onlays are also an excellent dental solution as the bonding and materials are stronger than metal fillings and last longer over the years. For the patients of our experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Mingus, inlays are the treatment of choice for many situations. They are preferred over crowns whenever possible because they leave more of the natural tooth structure and require the removal of only the damaged part of the tooth.

With the team and partnership of Distinctive Dentistry at Broken Top, your teeth are stronger and healthier in only 2 short visits! Talk to one of our helpful Bend dental team members to learn more about how Dr. Mingus can enhance your smile, for today and tomorrow.

Superior Protection with Conservative Cosmetic Dentistry

As a conservative dentist who believes nothing will ever be as strong as your own natural tooth structure, Dr. Mingus avoids removing any more healthy tooth structure than is necessary.

Only the damaged part of the tooth will need to be removed by expert restorative dentist, Dr. Mingus and an Inlay or Onlay created to fill the missing tooth material with a restoration that looks and wears like you own natural teeth. These exquisite porcelain tooth restorations are bonded to the tooth surface, sealing them effectively against leakage or decay. And it requires just two short visits to design and place your finished restoration!

On the first visit with your Bend dentist, Dr. Mingus will prepare the tooth to remove any damaged or unhealthy structure, followed by an impression. This is then sent to our accredited laboratory. The highly trained technicians follow the precise specifications Dr. Mingus provides; producing a beautiful, natural restoration of superior quality that rivals a crown in strength and durability.

On the second visit, your new inlay or onlay will be fitted and bonded to your tooth to produce an exquisite, lasting restoration with a complete seal for maximum protection.

Protecting your smile's health and beauty is very important to us at Distinctive Dentistry at Broken Top. We hope you'll take advantage of your complimentary consultation with Dr. Mingus and learn how easily this dental option can give you a healthy, beautiful smile.
