Composite inlays can replace moderate to large silver mercury fillings. An inlay is a stronger alternative to a bonded composite filling and is used on teeth that are heavily damaged. With this method the technician makes a small piece of composite in the laboratory, which is then bonded, into the tooth cavity to give a strong restoration and tooth. Should the tooth be too badly damaged for a composite inlay then an all porcelain crown or cap can be placed.
