Adaption of porcelain inlays

It is certainly always better to prevent damage to the teeth rather than treating them afterwards. However, should caries decay occur anyway there are various filling materials and treatment alternatives available in order to restore the function and beauty of the natural teeth. We generally differentiate between inlays made from gold or porcelain and direct acrylic fillings.

While acrylic fillings are inserted into the defective area immediately during the session, it takes a few treatment steps to manufacture inlays in our in-house laboratory in collaboration with the dental technician. Which treatment alternative is chosen depends on the extent of the damage and on the patient.
