Before ceramic inlay/onlay showing amalgam fillings





After amalgam fillings have been replaced with ceramic inlays


Inlay or onlay is often used to repair the damage that involve over the biting surface

of a tooth rather than using simple filling or crown. Inlay or onlay can be porcelain,

gold, or composite resin cast sections that are bonded to the damaged area of a tooth.

Inlay is similar to the fillings and lie inside the cusp tips of the tooth; onlay is a more

extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. We use gold or

Empress porcelain inlays/onlays.

 

Porcelain is now becoming the material of choice because of its strength and potential

to match the natural color of your tooth.
