Four Reasons Patients Opt for Porcelain Inlays

Are you ready to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted? You may want to consider porcelain inlays. Porcelain inlays are aesthetic alternatives to composite fillings. They are made with porcelain, customized to your natural tooth shade, and look like your natural teeth. Talk to your cosmetic dentist and read on to learn more about why you should consider porcelain inlays to give you a more attractive smile. Porcelain inlays are great for:

• Broken or fractured teeth. If you have broken or fractured teeth as a result of traumatic injury, a porcelain inlay may be the ideal solution for you. It serves the same function as a traditional filling, but provides a more aesthetically pleasing solution.
• Cosmetic enhancement. Porcelain inlays can help greatly in this endeavor—you won’t have to be shy about smiling because your teeth will look healthy and natural. Studies have shown that smiling boosts your mood, relieves stress, and heightens self-esteem. Having a healthy smile and attractive teeth will encourage you to show your smile more often, which leads to a general feeling of happiness and well-being.
• Decayed teeth. For decayed teeth, porcelain inlays are a great option. The size and shape of the porcelain inlay is similar to that of a filling. The porcelain inlay will fit snugly in the cusp of the tooth after the part with tooth decay is removed.
• Fractured fillings. Porcelain inlays are custom-made in a dental lab to fit exactly into your teeth. They are made of quality porcelain and will fit into your tooth perfectly. Unlike metal fillings, porcelain inlays are far less susceptible to expansion and contraction caused by eating or drinking very cold or very hot foods and drinks.
  This means that they will last longer and can never cause the tooth to crack. Also, porcelain inlays tend to be far more secure over the long run because they are actually glued into the tooth with a high-tech dental adhesive.
