Porcelain Inlays & Onlays

No mercury. No metals. No kidding.

Replace unsightly metal fillings and strengthen teeth with porcelain inlays and onlays

If you feel like a metal mouth, you’re not alone. For years, the silver-metal amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices – and many practices still use it. But silver metal fillings have shortcomings:

• Metal does not bond well to teeth so decay can eventually leak into the tooth
• Silver fillings weaken the teeth
• Metal fillings are not very attractive

All-porcelain inlays and onlays are the solution.

Unlike composite fillings that are 'painted' on layer by layer, a laboratory technician that is specifically trained and dedicated to providing only the finest restoration available fabricates them. The advantages are many:

• Porcelain inlays and onlays actually strengthen the tooth
• Can also be used where a crown or cap was once the only option. This technique saves more natural tooth structure.
• Porcelain inlays and onlays bond to the tooth makes this restoration outstanding
• Since no metal is used, this technique offers the very best in natural appearance
