What are porcelain inlays?
Porcelain inlays are custom-made filling structures mostly consisting of tooth-colored porcelain material restoring small damaged tooth structures.
Porcelain inlays are often used because they closely resemble natural teeth. Your dentist permanently cements a porcelain inlay into the tooth after it is created by a skilled dental laboratory.
Inlays can be used to restore teeth that have small faulty fillings or have been affected by decay or trauma in a conservative manner.
Inlays are an excellent substitute for silver and composite fillings. Inlays are also more conservative than crowns since they remove less tooth structure during the preparation process.
What are Porcelain Onlays?
Porcelain onlays are custom-made filling structure mostly consisting of tooth-colored porcelain material restoring relatively large damaged tooth structure. Porcelain onlays are often used because they closely resemble natural teeth.
Onlays are an excellent substitute for silver and composite fillings. Onlays are also known as a partial crown in some cases. A professional dental laboratory creates porcelain onlays, which are permanently bonded onto the tooth by your dentist.
Onlays can be used to restore teeth that have big faulty fillings or have been affected by decay or trauma in a conservative manner.
