Although similar in name, Porcelain Inlays and Onlays differ in that they both treat different areas of the tooth's natural surface. These techniques may be implemented to correct;

PORCELAIN INLAYS– Small to moderate decay may be amended through Porcelain Inlays. The decay must be located either on one or two top surfaces of the affected tooth.

PORCELAIN ONLAYS- Medium amounts of decay may be resolved through Porcelain Onlay treatment. The decay must have occurred in the cusp / chewing surface of the affected tooth.
