Porcelain And Ceramic Fillings (Inlay & Onlay)

What Are The Differences Between Composite vs Ceramic Tooth Fillings?
Composite material is not as durable as porcelain. In other words, the tooth with composite filling will be more susceptible to fracture in the long run than the tooth with ceramic filling. In some cases, it may even be necessary to extract the tooth after the tooth is broken.
After filling with composite material, there is usually sensitivity in the tooth. This situation is not observed after ceramic fillings.
On the other hand, we should replace composite fillings every 2 years. This need for renewal in composite fillings causes material loss from the tooth each time. You can use ceramic fillings for an average of 10-15 years.
