Dr. Curtis Couch based in Thousand Oaks understands that your smile isn’t just an expression, it’s a powerful personal asset that can help you succeed in the most meaningful aspects of your life…

At the largest Dental Hygiene practice in California, Dr. Curtis Couch in Thousand Oaks utilizes cutting-edge technology in reconstructive and aesthetic dentistry that can help you attain a revitalized, more complete smile that can benefit you for a lifetime. From the most minor, such as porcelain inlays, to the most critical cases of complete smile reconstructions, Dr. Couch executes a range of strengthening smile solutions that will fit any preference or budget. Dental inlays, onlays, and overlays are just a few of the restorative treatments offered from Dr. Curtis Couch DDS. These treatments are used to repair teeth that have been fractured, cracked, or broken on the shallow external surface. They are typically composed of resin, but they can also be created from gold, as it is a softer metal that is less hazardous to surrounding natural teeth. Discover the differences between treatments to find out which is the most appropriate choice for you…

Dental Inlay

A dental inlay is used to treat teeth that have been damaged or have decay lying at the top of the tooth surface that lies just between the cusps of teeth. Inlays are a solution for replacing metal fillings that have degraded over time. They can also be made from porcelain which reflects the natural look of teeth, as opposed to metal which can have a harsh, unpleasant appearance.

Dental Onlays

Onlays are much like inlays in both their application and use to treat decay. However, an onlay is most appropriate for a tooth which has decay affecting the exterior surface area that extends beyond the cusps.

Dental Overlays

Again, this treatment serves the same purpose in treating damage and decay as an inlay and onlay–but, an overlay covers the entire top surface of a tooth helping to prevent further damage and reinforce the whole tooth completely. A major benefit of these reconstructive treatments is that the composite resin or porcelain can be perfectly matched to the natural color and transparency of existing teeth. Tooth color and appearance are vastly improved, yet they are virtually undetectable allowing you to feel and share your strongest smile yet. Due to the customized nature of these restorative treatments dentists are able to securely bond them to the tooth surface making them feel just like natural teeth. The custom made resin components contain fluoride and are ingrained within the new construction of the teeth. This combination prevents bacteria from forming and causing future cavities. With improved strength structural integrity of teeth, bonding of inlays, onlays and overlays significantly reduce the inconvenience and uncomfortable feeling of tooth sensitivity.
