On some occasions, where a tooth has been badly damaged either due to a large area of decay or a fracture, a porcelain inlay/onlay may be recommended. Due to the very strong physical properties of this material, it can restore a tooth to full function while keeping a very natural appearance. This is an advanced restoration, custom made for your tooth. It is strongly bonded to the tooth, allowing for a very predictable long-term solution to a badly broken tooth.
