What Are Porcelain Restorations?
Porcelain restorations are custom-made dental restorations designed to repair and strengthen damaged teeth while mimicking the appearance of your natural tooth enamel. Whether you have a broken tooth, significant tooth decay, or old, worn-out fillings, porcelain provides one of the most natural looks and highest levels of durability available in modern dentistry.
Benefits of Porcelain Restorations
Choosing porcelain for your dental restorations comes with an array of benefits.
- Natural Appearance: The color of porcelain closely resembles your natural teeth, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing result.
- Durable Material: Porcelain is strong and long-lasting, standing up to years of normal use.
- Hypoallergenic: Ideal for patients with allergies to metals or other restoration materials.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: Porcelain restorations are designed to conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Our dentists discuss your porcelain restoration options and customize your treatment to your unique oral health.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are excellent alternatives to traditional dental fillings or crowns for patients with moderate tooth damage or decay. These custom-made porcelain restorations repair the damaged portion of a tooth while preserving its natural structure. Although they seem similar, inlays and onlays address different issues.
- Inlays: These restorations fit snugly into the grooves of a natural tooth, repairing damage without covering the entire surface.
- Onlays: Similar to inlays but extending over one or more of the tooth’s cusps, onlays repair more extensive areas of tooth damage.
Both inlays and onlays are crafted from porcelain, offering the most natural look and superior durability.
The Inlay and Onlay Process
The inlay and onlay process at Encompass Dental Studio in Central Ohio typically follows this pattern.
Consultation and Examination
One of our dentists will evaluate the affected tooth, assess your treatment options, and recommend an inlay or onlay if it’s the best solution for your dental needs.
Preparation and Impressions
During your first visit, the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is removed, leaving the healthy natural tooth enamel intact. Dental impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom restoration that fits seamlessly.
Crafting the Restoration
Your inlay or onlay is meticulously crafted in a dental lab using porcelain that matches the color of your natural teeth.
Placement
At your follow-up appointment, the inlay or onlay is bonded to the tooth enamel using advanced dental cement, restoring the health of the tooth and its function.
Advantages of Inlays and Onlays
Opting for inlays and onlays as a restorative option offers distinct advantages for your oral health. Some key benefits include:
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: This method prioritizes a conservative approach, preserving as much of your natural tooth enamel as possible.
- Enhanced Durability: Porcelain inlays and onlays are incredibly durable. They provide exceptional strength to the affected tooth, allowing it to withstand biting forces confidently.
Seamless Aesthetics: Crafted for a perfect fit, inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with the natural contours of your teeth, resulting in a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
