Fillings and Inlays
A dental filling stops the forward progress of decay. This is the most common restorative treatment, and helps prevent the need for more intensive treatment when taken care of in a timely fashion.
Inlay
An inlay is similar to a filling, but its focus is on the functionality of the biting and chewing surface. An inlay is custom built by a dental technician to build up a tooth so it correctly meets the surrounding teeth for optimal alignment.
