Cosmetic Dentistry - Porcelain fillings
What are tooth colored restorations?
Tooth colored restorations are natural looking, alternatives to traditional metal fillings. We offer two primary types: direct composite resin fillings, and indirect porcelain restorations.
What are tooth colored filling made from?
Direct composite resin fillings are made from specially formulated dental resins, designed to mimic the color and consistency of natural tooth enamel. Porcelain inlays, onlays, and crowns are fashioned from dental grade porcelain, to recreate the color, texture, and translucency of your natural teeth.
How long does the procedure take?
Tooth colored direct composite resin fillings can be completed in a single office visit, in a procedure much like that for metal fillings. Porcelain restorations can take two or more office visits, depending on the type and extent of the restoration. Porcelain restorations fabricated through our CEREC crown-in-a-day CAD-CAM technology take only a single visit.
What other options are available?
If you have a small chip in a tooth, rather than a cavity from bacterial decay, we can use the same tooth-colored composite to fill it. This would be a considered dental bonding procedure.
How long do tooth colored restorations last?
Properly maintained, a tooth colored restoration can last a decade or more.
