One thing that comes to mind as a service that often causes confusion in dental planning is the difference between inlays and onlays.

Have you ever been confused about the difference between a dental inlays and onlays? They behave in a similar manner in that they both protect your teeth and help them to function effectively when chewing food, however, their placement is where the difference lies. A dental inlay is similar to a filling — it fixes teeth that are too sensitive to sustain a traditional filling. Made from a mold of your tooth, the inlay sits inside the tooth. A dental onlay, much like a dental crown, sits on top of the tooth, covering the surface and protecting the tooth from wear.
