One of those numerous services was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkingscott.com\/inlays-onlays.html\">inlays and onlays<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a filling replaced, or have a large area of your tooth that is decayed or damaged, <strong>inlays and onlays <\/strong>from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkingscott.com\/\">Dr. King Scott\u2019s office<\/a> could be a good solution. The best way to describe it is as a mix of a filling and a crown. It just replaced the part of your toot h that is decayed or damaged, like a filling, but is made out of milled porcelain, like a crown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inlays and onlays <\/strong>are essentially the same, they\u2019re just located different places on your teeth and in relation to your cusps. Cusps are the bumps you\u2019ll find on the top of a tooth. <strong>Inlays <\/strong>go in between cusps, and <strong>onlays <\/strong>fit over your cusps.<\/p>\n<p>This procedure is a great alternative to replacing a tooth, as it allows you to keep more of your natural tooth structure, which is important. At your initial consultation, <strong>Dr. Scott <\/strong>will see if this procedure is right for you, and take an impression of your tooth. This will be sent to the lab, and used to mill your <strong>inlay or onlay. <\/strong>You\u2019ll have a temporary put in and at your second appointment, the permanent <strong>inlay or onlay <\/strong>will be placed, and your tooth will be restored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inlays and onlays <\/strong>are great options to help repair and restore your teeth. If you\u2019re interested, call us today to see if this could be right for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. King Scott <\/strong>has<strong> <\/strong>provided quality, full-service dentistry to patients for over three decades. His <strong>West Monroe, LA dental office <\/strong>serves patients from <strong>Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmerville, Columbia, South Arkansas and greater North Louisiana<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkingscott.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> our office today to schedule your appointment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last time, we discussed restorative dentistry and the wide variety of services we provide to help our patients smile proudly.
