Ceramic Inlays


White Fillings, which are also known as ceramic (porcelain) inlays, allow teeth to be filled and rebuilt utilising more aesthetically acceptable materials such as porcelain.
Mercury toxicity from amalgam fillings is a controversial subject, though no research to date has been able to show any risks of having mercury as a component of amalgam dental fillings.
White Fillings do not contain mercury and are an ideal choice for achieving long term strength in filled teeth. Teeth that are heavily filled with large silver amalgam or mercury fillings are at risk of fracturing because the tooth is spread apart by these traditional filling materials. These teeth can be rebuilt with ceramic inlays, which holds the tooth together as opposed to spreading it apart, preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure.
Ceramic inlays allow teeth to be safely and aesthetically restored achieving a more attractive smile.
Ceramic keeps white color longer than composite resin. Composite resin may discolor so quickly because they absorb stains from daily food and drink.
Before – silver amalgam or mercury fillings clearly visible and aesthetically unattractive
After – White Fillings achieve an aesthetic and natural looking finish while avoiding the use of mercury. They also serve to hold the filled teeth together rather than spreading them apart.
