Porcelain is the most biocompatible, hypo-allergenic, non-metallic restorative material of which we are aware at this time.  Porcelain restorations are also dramatically less effected by factors that influence longevity of other fillings: restorative technique, filling size, your body chemistry, and your nutritional intake.  Porcelain restorations (inlays, onlays & crowns) can last 12-15 years or longer.  At Oakville North Dentistry we strive to be the best dental office in Oakville and we offer the best quality porcelain to our patients .  Porcelain restorations cost more than ceramic composites initially, but porcelain’s longevity decreases the potential need for more dental treatment.
