Porcelain Fillings

Applying porcelain fillings involves restoring the missing portion of the tooth based on anatomical principles. This filling technique is commonly applied when there is significant damage to the tooth. The primary goal of this approach, which is a minimally invasive treatment, is to preserve the natural structure and aesthetics of the tooth. They are frequently applied, especially to molars. It is important to note that molars require extra durability compared to other teeth due to their role in chewing food.

Porcelain fillings are a great option for patients who have experienced significant tooth loss. They are not overly burdensome for the patient. First, a cavity is prepared in the tooth, or an existing cavity is made suitable for the filling. After that, the measurements of the prepared cavities are sent to the laboratory. The missing piece is carefully crafted in a controlled laboratory setting, using high-quality porcelain material that matches the structure and dimensions of the patient's tooth. This filling material, when applied to the patient's tooth, is highly durable, comparable to tooth enamel.
