What is dental porcelain?
Dental porcelain is a specially formulated mix of ceramic porcelain and other ingredients specially formulated to replicate the color, texture, and translucency of your natural teeth, so your porcelain inlays and onlays will be indistinguishable. And porcelain doesn’t expand and contract like metal amalgam does, so your inlays and onlays are not as susceptible to damage or as likely to damage your teeth as metal fillings are.
