Porcelain Inlays & Onlays

Look closely to see this porcelain inlay A back tooth with a large silver may sometimes show as a dark area in your smile. While tooth colors fillings can sometimes be placed, porcelain inlays or onlays are a better choice when the fillings are too large for composite, but not damaged to the point of needing a crown.

Porcelain inlays and onlays require two appointments and local anesthesia. The existing silver filling is removed and the tooth shaped for proper placement. An impression of the involved teeth and the opposing teeth is taken and a temporary restoration is place. About a week later, after the dental laboratory custom makes the restoration, the temporary filling is removed, the porcelain is fitted and adjusted, and then bonded or cemented in place.
