Bridges replace missing teeth so you can enjoy your favorite foods comfortably and without shifting or slipping.
Want a smile that feels stronger, healthier and more confident every day?
If you have a tooth that’s too damaged for a simple filling but not damaged enough for a crown, dental inlays and onlays at Enhance Dentist offer the perfect in-between solution. Dr. David S. Kim uses high-quality, custom restorations to repair and strengthen your tooth while keeping as much of your natural structure as possible.
Whether you’re dealing with decay, old worn fillings or a broken section of your tooth, we provide modern, durable and natural-looking restorations designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Bridges replace missing teeth so you can enjoy your favorite foods comfortably and without shifting or slipping.
Inlays and onlays restore larger damaged areas, giving your tooth more strength and stability than traditional fillings can provide.
Unlike crowns, these restorations only replace the damaged portion, keeping healthy enamel intact.
Made from strong porcelain or composite materials, inlays and onlays are resistant to wear and designed to last for many years.
Each restoration is custom-crafted to match your tooth’s shape and shade, giving you a flawless, natural result.
Because they are custom-designed, inlays and onlays seal tightly, improve chewing comfort and reduce future decay risk.
When a crown is unnecessary, inlays and onlays offer a conservative, affordable and highly effective solution.
You may be an excellent candidate if you:
Have moderate decay or damage
Need more support than a filling provides
Want to avoid placing a full crown
Have worn, cracked or failing old fillings
Want a long-lasting, natural-looking result
At Enhance Dentist, we evaluate the size and location of your damage to determine whether an inlay or onlay is the best way to restore your tooth.
At Enhance Dentist in La Crescenta, we create custom inlays and onlays designed for long-term function, beauty and strength.
Dr. Kim examines the tooth, checks the extent of the decay and recommends an inlay or onlay based on what will preserve the most natural structure. You’ll understand your options clearly before treatment begins.
We numb the area for comfort, remove decay precisely and shape the tooth to ensure a perfect fit for your custom restoration.
Advanced digital scans capture the exact shape of your tooth so your inlay or onlay is created with precision and accuracy.
A temporary restoration is placed to keep your tooth protected and functional while your final piece is being crafted.
Once ready, your porcelain or composite inlay/onlay is bonded securely to your tooth. Dr. Kim checks the fit, shape and bite to ensure natural comfort.
We give your restoration a smooth polish for a seamless finish and review simple tips to keep your tooth strong, healthy and protected.

"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
