In cases of extensive damage or destruction of a tooth, where a simple filling cannot be safely applied and you do not want to completely grind down the tooth to create a porcelain crown, a porcelain inlay is an ideal solution. An inlay is a piece of porcelain crafted in a dental laboratory to replace the missing part of the tooth.
The primary advantage of an inlay is that it requires no more grinding of the tooth beyond its initial damage. This means that the maximum amount of healthy tooth substance is preserved.
The inlay is made from high-quality porcelain that closely mimics the natural appearance of the tooth. It offers unparalleled aesthetics and blends seamlessly with natural teeth.
Porcelain is extremely durable and can withstand chewing forces, providing a long-lasting solution.
The inlay is securely bonded to the tooth and provides excellent adaptation margins and correct contact points with neighboring teeth.
The material is fully biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and irritation to the gums and surrounding tissues.
