Porcelain inlays and onlays are dental restorations used to repair or restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or wear. They are made of porcelain, a strong and durable material that is able to withstand the forces of chewing and biting.
Porcelain inlays and onlays are custom-made to fit the shape and color of your natural teeth, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile. They are an alternative to metal fillings, which can be noticeable and unsightly.
Porcelain inlays and onlays can be used to repair structural damage that has made a tooth weak or vulnerable to further damage. They can also be used to fix small cracks, weaknesses, or fractures that could lead to breaks or tooth loss. When a composite filling is not enough to repair a large cavity or decay, porcelain inlays and onlays may be used to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
If you have damaged teeth that need to be restored, our dentists at MetroPointe Dental Clinic can help determine if porcelain inlays and onlays are the right treatment option for you. We will work with you to create a custom restoration plan that fits your needs and goals.
