What Are Porcelain Inlays?

Porcelain inlays are custom-made restorations used to repair the chewing surfaces of your teeth, particularly when decay or damage is too extensive for a simple filling. Crafted to fit precisely within the grooves of your tooth, a porcelain inlay is bonded to provide a strong and natural-looking finish. Unlike composite fillings, porcelain inlays are highly resistant to staining and wear, offering superior durability and aesthetics.

The Impressive Porcelain Inlay Lifespan

One of the key benefits of porcelain inlays is their remarkable lifespan. Porcelain inlays can last up to 15 years or more when cared for properly. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects can help extend their longevity. Our team ensures that your porcelain inlay is tailored to your bite and dental structure, maximizing its durability and functionality.

What Are Porcelain Onlays?

Porcelain onlays are similar to inlays but cover a larger portion of the tooth, often extending to one or more cusps. They are an excellent choice for restoring teeth with moderate damage or decay that doesn’t require a full crown. Porcelain onlays provide a strong, aesthetically pleasing solution, preserving more of your natural tooth structure than traditional crowns.
