Porcelain Inlays and Onlays

When decay has caused a large portion of your tooth to be damaged, and a traditional dental filling is not an option, look to porcelain inlay and onlay restorations. Unlike regular composite fillings, these restorations are crafted of durable porcelain and actually strengthen the structure of the tooth. An inlay fits inside the cusps of the tooth, replacing any removed pulp, while an onlay fits inside and around the cusps.
