Frequently Asked
Questions

Elite Smiles of La Jolla offers a comprehensive range of restorative procedures including fillings, dental crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, dental implants, dentures (full and partial), implant-supported overdentures, root canal therapy, and denture repairs.
A tooth may need more than a filling when decay exceeds approximately 50% of the tooth's structure, when there is a crack extending toward the root, when the tooth has had a root canal, or when an existing large restoration has failed. Crowns, inlays, or onlays are the typical restorative escalation.
Dr. Seraj uses a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and 3D imaging when needed to evaluate the full picture of a patient's oral health before recommending restorations. Treatment plans prioritize long-term function while using the most conservative intervention appropriate for each tooth.
Yes. Elite Smiles of La Jolla uses tooth-colored materials — composite resin for fillings, porcelain or ceramic for crowns, inlays, onlays, and bridges — to ensure restorations blend seamlessly with surrounding natural teeth.
Most PPO dental plans cover restorative procedures at varying levels — typically 50–80% of fillings, crowns, and other major restorations after the deductible. Elite Smiles of La Jolla will review your specific benefits before treatment so there are no surprises.
