What Are Porcelain Fillings?
Dental Inlays and Onlays are porcelain fillings that are alternatives to crowns. When a tooth is cracked, or an old amalgam filling is leaking or failing, an inlay or onlay is an ideal way to restore the tooth.
Dentists used to have to grind teeth down to nubs and place crowns on teeth, but not anymore! At Pacific Dental we prefer to keep your teeth intact and restore only the unhealthy or unstable parts of your teeth.
FACT: Inlays and Onlays are more conservative than crowns for that reason, and they don’t result in that ugly gray line at the gum.
Now, should I get porcelain fillings?
Inlays and onlays are the ideal option for restoring broken, chipped or decayed teeth, as well as for all amalgam replacements.
Pacific Dental’s goal is to make sure we are equipped to deliver inlays and onlays that look and feel great, just as we do for all of our procedures, for all of our patients.
FACT: Inlays and Onlays are less expensive and easier to maintain
