Porcelain Inlays and Onlays

Why feel self-conscious when smiling due to potentially visible, dark fillings? Porcelain Inlays and Onlays are a great esthetic alternative that protect and restore decayed areas in the tooth, similar to a filling.

An Inlay works to restore the inner decay of the tooth while the Onlay covers mainly the outer part of the tooth. And since they are made of porcelain, they are customized to your tooth’s natural shading which makes them essentially undetectable. Made with the same material used for crowns and bridgework, porcelain Inlays and Onlays are quite strong and durable.

This restorative option is particularly useful for teeth that have been damaged, yet still have a substantial amount of enamel remaining. Whether you need an Inlay, an Onlay, or a combination of both, this restorative procedure allows for an excellent esthetic result.
