What are porcelain inlays or onlays?

Porcelain inlays and onlays are an aesthetically-pleasing alternative to composite fillings. They are strong and are excellent for restoring weakened back teeth. Inlays and onlays protect and restore large portions of decayed teeth, or teeth under very heavy load (i.e. back teeth). Unlike crowns, they only cover a portion of the tooth.

Do porcelain inlays or onlays look natural?

Yes; they are made with porcelain, customized to your natural tooth shade, and look like your natural tooth. Porcelain inlays and onlays are made from the same strong, tooth-colored material that is used for crowns and bridgework. A customized shade makes them blend beautifully with your natural teeth.
