LOS ANGELES, CA — With the use of inlay and onlay cavity treatment, LA dentist Dr. Neda Naim is providing more durable cavity solutions than traditional fillings for single tooth and multiple tooth cavity treatment.

Inlays and onlays correct any tooth decay or cavities that form on either the points of a tooth (cusps) or the grooves in the center of the tooth. Whereas traditional dental fillings are placed on the damaged area and hardened with a UV light without any impressions, inlays and onlays are molded to the damaged area after impressions are taken. Using dental imagery for impressions and avoiding the use of potentially harmful UV light makes for a more precise cavity solution and does significantly less damage to the tooth.

“Fillings were a fine cavity treatment, but it has its faults,” exclaims Dr. Naim, one of California’s top LA dentists. “The point of cavity treatment is to stop tooth decay and save the natural tooth. But, while traditional fillings remove cavities, it can make a tooth up to 50% weaker. Inlays and onlays provide up to a 75% boost to a tooth’s stability and provide precisely fitted molds for teeth.” (more…)
