What Are Porcelain Fillings?
Porcelain fillings, also known as inlays or onlays, are used to restore moderately damaged or decayed teeth, providing strength for normal chewing. Crafted from ceramic material, they can be custom-colored to seamlessly match your natural tooth shade. Inlays are employed when there is no damage to the tooth's cusps, while onlays are used when extensive inner tooth damage requires covering or replacing a larger portion of the tooth structure.

What’s the process for porcelain fillings?
Consultation and Assessment
We begin with a consultation to understand your goals and conduct a thorough oral assessment.
Determination of Restoration Type
The examination helps us determine whether your case calls for inlays or onlays.
Decay Removal
Before proceeding with the filling or restoration, we remove the decayed portion of your tooth.
Painless Procedure
To ensure your comfort, we administer a local anesthetic to numb the area while we remove dental decay.
Temporary Filling
We place a temporary filling in the tooth until the custom-fit porcelain filling is ready.
Impression and Design
An impression of the area is taken to create a precise porcelain filling using advanced 3D scanning technology and CAD/CAM design software.
Milling and Bonding
We expertly design, mill, and bond the restoration to the damaged portion of your tooth.
Curing Process
High-intensity blue light is used to harden the bonding materials.
Post-Procedure Discomfort
While the procedure is painless, you may experience minor discomfort afterward, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Treatment Duration
The duration of porcelain onlay or inlay treatment varies depending on the extent of tooth decay but generally requires only one visit to complete.
How long do porcelain fillings last for?
Porcelain fillings boast exceptional durability, matching the strength of natural tooth enamel. Consequently, they exhibit longevity on par with the teeth they are bonded to. When properly crafted, these fillings can endure for up to 15 years. Moreover, their resistance to everyday wear and tear, along with their remarkable resilience, suggests the potential for an even more extended lifespan.

CEREC Same Day Partial Crowns: Inlays & Onlays Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an inlay and an onlay?
Inlays fill the space between the cusps of a tooth. Onlays cover one or more cusps and can extend to the tooth’s side.
How long do they last?
With proper care, inlays and onlays can last 10 to 30 years or more.
Does the procedure hurt?
Not at all. We use local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after the procedure.
Will my insurance cover the treatment?
Many insurance plans cover inlays and onlays when they are medically necessary. Our team can help you verify your benefits.
How long does the procedure take?
Thanks to our in-office technology, most treatments are completed in one visit.
Will it match my natural tooth color?
Yes. We use tooth-colored ceramic for a result that blends beautifully with your smile.
When can I eat again?
You can eat once the anesthesia wears off—usually within a few hours. We recommend soft foods initially.
How do I care for my inlay/onlay?
Maintain good oral hygiene—brush, floss, and schedule regular checkups—just like with natural teeth.
Are inlays or onlays better than crowns?
They’re less invasive than crowns and help preserve more of your natural tooth structure—making them a great option when applicable.
