Inlays and onlays are a great way to crown a tooth without touching extra structure of the partial healthy tooth.

A liner is a layer that is applied to the tooth underneath the filling to protect the tooth from sensitivity.

Inlays and onlays are basically the same kinds of restoration but they cover different surfaces of the tooth.

Onlays are made also for aesthetic reasons because they match perfectly to the natural tooth color and anatomy.

Procedures That Require Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is required for dental procedures such as wisdom tooth removal, traditional and same day dental implants, and treatment of severe periodontal disease.

If wisdom teeth are severely impacted, dentists may need to make an incision in a patient’s gums to properly extract them. Dental implants are by nature an invasive procedure because they are surgically installed into your jawbone. The worst cases of periodontal or gum disease may require dentists to make a cut in your gums and lift a flap of gum tissue so they can remove diseased tissue, along with bacteria and tartar that has built up in the gums.
