Porcelain Fillings
Beautiful, durable tooth-colored restorations that blend seamlessly
Superior Aesthetic Restorations
Porcelain fillings, also known as inlays and onlays, offer a superior alternative to traditional metal fillings. These custom-crafted restorations are designed to match your natural tooth color perfectly, providing both strength and beauty.
Unlike metal fillings that can expand and contract with temperature changes, porcelain fillings are stable and biocompatible. They bond securely to your tooth structure, providing excellent durability while maintaining a completely natural appearance.

Treatment at a Glance
Best For
Replacing old metal fillings or treating cavities too large for regular fillings but not severe enough for a crown.
The Process
A custom-made porcelain piece bonded to the tooth; typically completed in two visits.
Follow-Up
Routine brushing and flossing; avoiding extremely hard foods to protect the ceramic.
What to Expect
Conservative Preparation
We gently remove the decay or old filling while preserving as much of your healthy natural tooth structure as possible.
Custom Fabrication
Unlike a standard filling, a porcelain inlay is custom-crafted in a laboratory to fit the exact shape and shade of your cavity.
Invisible bond
We bond the porcelain securely to your tooth. The result is seamless – it strengthens the tooth structure and becomes virtually indistinguishable from your natural enamel.
