Onlay restorations are advanced dental treatments designed to repair teeth that need more extensive reconstruction. Like inlays, onlays are custom-made but they cover one or more of the tooth's cusps, providing significant support and strength. They are perfect for teeth that are too damaged for a filling but not damaged enough to require a crown.
Extensive Coverage: Onlays cover large areas of the tooth, providing substantial protection and restoration.
Tooth Conservation: Onlays require less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to crowns, helping to preserve your natural tooth.
Strength and Durability: Made from strong materials like porcelain or composite, onlays reinforce weakened teeth and are built to last.
Aesthetic Appeal: Onlays are crafted to match the natural color of your teeth, blending seamlessly and restoring the aesthetics of your smile.
Onlays are an excellent choice for teeth that require more coverage than inlays but where you still want to conserve as much of the natural tooth as possible. They offer a durable and aesthetic solution that enhances the tooth's strength and appearance.
The onlay procedure typically involves two visits. During the first visit, we'll clean out any decay and shape the tooth, making an impression that will be used to craft your custom onlay. You may receive a temporary onlay to protect your tooth while your permanent onlay is being made. At your second visit, the permanent onlay is carefully fitted and bonded to your tooth. This ensures a perfect fit and restores your tooth to its natural function and look.
