Benefits of Inlay/Onlay Fillings

  • It is an aesthetic and restoration system that can maintain its durability for many years.
  • The chewing surface and interface surfaces of the porcelain filling are perfectly polished, preventing bacterial retention and stain formation.
  • It eliminates the necessity of abrading and bridging natural teeth.
  • Since porcelain filling is prepared in a laboratory environment, they imitate the missing contours of the tooth and the contact points with the neighboring teeth anatomically very well, so there is no accumulation of nutrient residues between the teeth and the problems caused by this.
  • Since the chewing surfaces of porcelain fillers are prepared to mimic the anatomical chewing line of the tooth, they are superior to composite fillings in terms of chewing and grinding functions.
  • Since they establish a one-to-one and stress-free relationship with the tooth, porcelain fillings prevent cracking and breakage that may occur in the weak parts of the tooth.
  • It is the ideal solution for composite filling and amalgam filling fractures.
