Dental Inlays & Onlays in Los Angeles

Preserving strength. Restoring harmony.

Natural, Minimally Invasive Tooth Restorations

Dr. Paul O’Malley leads one of Los Angeles’ most advanced holistic and biomimetic dental practices and is a Master and Fellow of Biomimetic Dentistry. Located in Encino and serving patients across the greater Los Angeles area, he provides restorative solutions that protect what nature created while rebuilding only what is needed. Dental inlays and onlays represent the perfect balance between science and preservation. These minimally invasive restorations strengthen weakened teeth without the aggressive drilling required for traditional crowns. The result is a restoration that looks natural, feels comfortable, and supports the long-term integrity of your smile. With over three decades of experience and thousands of restorations placed, Dr. O’Malley designs each inlay or onlay with precision, artistry, and a deep respect for biological structure, helping patients achieve a healthier, more natural smile—all while preserving the natural tooth structure.

Why Choose Onlays Instead of Crowns

Traditional crowns often require extensive removal of healthy tooth structure. Onlays offer a modern, conservative alternative, covering only the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth while preserving its natural strength.

Benefits of Onlays and Inlays:

Minimal tooth reduction: Maintains the integrity of healthy enamel and dentin.
Long-term strength: Reinforces the natural structure of the tooth, reducing the risk of future fractures.
Natural appearance: Custom-shaded ceramics and composites blend seamlessly with existing teeth.
Biocompatible materials: Mercury-free, metal-free restorations that support whole-body wellness.
Durability: Engineered to withstand years of function without compromising comfort or aesthetics.

This biomimetic approach reflects Dr. O’Malley’s philosophy of rebuilding teeth as nature designed them: layer by layer, without unnecessary sacrifice.

The Importance of Tooth Preservation

Every tooth is a living structure with its own internal strength, flexibility, and vitality. When too much healthy tissue is removed through over-preparation, it can irreversible damage the nerve leading to root canals or extractions. Our preservation-based method protects:

Natural strength: By retaining more enamel, your tooth can absorb chewing forces as intended.
Function: Properly balanced restorations maintain bite alignment and chewing comfort.
Longevity: Teeth restored conservatively last longer and require fewer future treatments.
Comfort: Protecting the precious nerve with minimal preparation means less post-treatment sensitivity and inflammation.

Dr. O’Malley’s dental inlays and onlays in Los Angeles are built to work with your natural biology, ensuring health, comfort, and durability in every smile.
