Porcelain inlays are much more durable than regular fillings and can strengthen your tooth in the process, whereas fillings can potentially weaken it. Inlays can replace larger areas of decay without having to remove a huge amount of your natural tooth.
Unlike silver amalgam, which expands and condenses with hot or cold foods, porcelain inlays won’t pose a risk to your treated tooth, so you don’t have to worry about making changes to your current lifestyle.
