South Florida Cosmetic Dentist provides PORCELAIN INLAYS & PORCELAIN ONLAYS
In areas where strength and aesthetics are needed, porcelain inlays and porcelain onlays are an excellent option. In the contact areas, along the marginal ridge (the edge between the teeth), there is a fair amount of wear and tear. If a composite material is placed in an area of high stress, then it tends to wear down over time. In cases such as this, porcelain fillings are suggested due to their excellent aesthetics and durability. When a cusp of a tooth is missing, however there is still enough tooth structure to support a large filling, then inlays and onlays can be considered. Just like the porcelain veneers, they are strong and they are bonded to the teeth using a thin layer of resin material. These maintain their color indefinitely. They will restore 95% of the original tooth strength. With the new materials available today, these are almost invisible when they are placed.
