Porcelain Fillings

• According to Dr. Kezian, most dental patients are
  aware of a dental filling and know what the
  process actually involves. But, many of you may
  not yet be aware of a dental inlay or an onlay.
• For repairing the damage occurred in the biting
  surface of your tooth, your dentist may suggest
  inlays or onlays, which are porcelain fillings,
  instead of a full crown.

Porcelain Fillings

• An inlay in similar to a filling and lies inside
  the cusp tips of your tooth.
• They are custom made for fitting accurately
  inside the tooth.
• The process is completed in two visits.
• In first visit, Dr. Kezian and staff will clean
  and prepare your tooth for the inlay. An
  impression of your tooth will also be made and
  sent to the laboratory, where your inlay will be
  prepared from either from gold or from porcelain.
  After that, your tooth will be sealed with a
  temporary sealant and you can go to home.
• On 2nd visit, the temporary sealant will be
  removed and the gold or porcelain fillings will
  be cemented inside the sups tips of your tooth.

Porcelain Fillings

• An onlay is similar to an inlay, but the only
  difference is this that it covers a large part of
  the tooth. It can cover even one or more cusps of
  tooth.
• Since onlays are an extensive reconstruction as
  compared to inlays, they are only advised in case
  if a substantial reconstruction is required.
• These porcelain fillings cover a large part as
  compared to inlays, but a small part as compared
  to a full crown.

• What Are Tooth-Colored Inlays And Onlays?
• They are also known as dental cosmetic fillings.
  Several tooth-colored inlays and onlays have been
  developed for constructing the larger defects of
  back teeth.
• They are often made of porcelain, because its
  color is similar to the color of humans teeth.
• These fillings are developed in laboratories and
  are fixed through a liquid plastic form of cement.
