We generally recommend two appointments for porcelain fillings. During the first appointment, we’ll remove the unhealthy part of the tooth, including any decay, cracks, or old fillings. We take impressions of the tooth and send those to our lab, where our master ceramist creates a perfectly fit piece of porcelain that will fit into your tooth just like a puzzle piece. Blue Ridge, GA General Dentistry. This porcelain piece will be bonded onto the original tooth during the second appointment, usually 3-4 weeks after the first.This porcelain restores the part of the tooth that was removed, and looks just like the original tooth – or better! When taken care of, these fillings can last decades!.
