What Are Porcelain Tooth Fillings?

Porcelain fillings are durable, tooth-colored restorations used to repair areas of decay or replace old metal fillings. Unlike traditional silver amalgam, porcelain fillings blend seamlessly with your natural enamel and offer superior resistance to stains and wear. Also called inlays or onlays, these fillings are custom-made to fit the shape of your tooth and are bonded in place for added strength.

Porcelain teeth fillings are ideal for patients seeking a cosmetic and biocompatible alternative to metal restorations. Looking to upgrade old fillings or treat new decay with a more aesthetic solution? Porcelain fillings may be the perfect choice - book a consultation today.

What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Fillings?

Porcelain fillings offer long-term strength, function, and a natural appearance. Benefits include:

Tooth-Colored Aesthetics

You’ll get a filling that matches your enamel, making it virtually invisible.

Metal-Free and Biocompatible

Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or those who want a mercury-free solution.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Porcelain resists wear and can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.

Preserves Tooth Structure

Porcelain inlays and onlays allow for a more conservative restoration than full crowns.

Stain Resistant

Unlike resin composites, porcelain holds its color over time, resisting stains from food and drink.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Fillings?

  • Cavities or Tooth Damage: You need to restore a decayed or chipped tooth with a strong, cosmetic material.
  • Replace Metal Fillings: You're looking to remove old silver fillings for aesthetic or health reasons.
  • Moderate Tooth Loss: The damage is too extensive for a simple composite filling, but it doesn’t require a crown.
  • Durable, Natural-Looking: You prefer a restoration that is both strong and blends beautifully with your smile.

What Is the Process of Getting a Porcelain Filling?

  1. Evaluation and Treatment Planning: Dr. Naysan will assess the extent of decay or damage and determine whether a porcelain inlay or onlay is the best option.
  2. Tooth Preparation: The decayed or damaged area is carefully removed, and the tooth is shaped for the custom porcelain restoration.
  3. Impressions and Temporary Filling: We take a digital or physical mold of your tooth and place a temporary filling while your porcelain piece is crafted.
  4. Custom Porcelain Fabrication: The inlay or onlay is fabricated in a dental lab to match the color, size, and contour of your tooth.
  5. Bonding and Polishing: At your follow-up visit, Dr. Naysan permanently bonds the porcelain to your tooth and polishes it for a smooth, natural finish.
