What are Porcelain and Ceramic Inlays?
Porcelain inlays are considered durable by most NJ dentists, with a manufacturing process that enables a high degree of accuracy in placing the inlay. Porcelain inlays bind onto the tooth and increase the overall strength of the tooth. These inlays may cost more than other types of filling procedures. Ceramic inlays are used to repair somewhat damaged back teeth. They are made of very strong and durable industrial ceramics. Dentists in New Jersey and elsewhere glue ceramic inlays into place with special adhesives, which hold the damaged parts of the tooth together. These inlays are quite durable, and resemble a tooth in every way. They are also significantly stronger than regular filling materials.
