What are dental inlays?
Dental inlays are restorations that are used to repair teeth with mild decay or damage that is more than can be treated with a dental filling but does not need a full crown. A dental inlay repairs the area between the cusps of the tooth. When treating a tooth with a dental inlay, much of the original tooth structure is preserved. In order to preserve the beauty of your smile, Dr. James Feldman and Dr. Steven Feldman use white inlays that are discreet and aesthetically pleasing. The treatment to restore your teeth with a dental inlay can be completed in just two comfortable visits to Feldman Dentistry. A dental inlay can last for 30 years if given proper care.
What are dental onlays?
Similar to dental inlays, dental onlays are also restorations that are used to restore teeth with more than a filling but less than a crown. A dental onlay covers one or more cusps of the tooth or the entire biting surface. Dental onlays are also sometimes known as partial crowns.
