Porcelain Inlays

Complete Health & Wellness For All

Porcelain inlays offer a conservative, long-lasting solution for repairing teeth with moderate decay or damage. Unlike traditional fillings, inlays are custom-made restorations that provide a seamless, natural look while preserving more of the natural tooth structure.

What Is a Porcelain Inlay?

An inlay is a tooth-colored porcelain restoration that fits within the cusps (chewing surface) of a tooth. It is stronger and more durable than a traditional filling, making it an excellent choice for restoring strength and function while maintaining a natural appearance.
