Inlays & Onlays in Staten Island

Finding a Solution

If you have a tooth that’s experiencing pain, problems, or both, there are some dental treatment options that are readily available. Popular conception is that the options are limited to getting a filling or having the entirety of the tooth extracted. While this is certainly true to some extent, sometimes a tooth has so much damage that a filling can’t properly fix it. While getting a tooth extracted is an alternative, it’s not the only one.

Inlays & Onlays 

In case you’re unaware, inlays and onlays are a solution that exists in between a standard filling and a crown. They’re a non-invasive dental procedure that is best used in minimal to moderate degrees of necessity. Primarily made of porcelain, they’re fused together with your normal teeth.

• Inlays are inserted into the middle of the tooth and extend from the front to the back.
• Onlays usually extend much further than a standard inlay and normally cover a larger area that might be affected.

Inlays and onlays might also be referred to as indirect fillings. These are performed when a smaller tooth structure is removed and a restoration is placed into the mouth and fits perfectly into the framework of the teeth that exist within your jawline.
