Onlays

Onlays are similar to crowns in that they are used to restore the tooth to its natural form and function and provide protection to a tooth weakened from large worn fillings and decay. Onlays are a good option provided a significant amount of healthy enamel is present around the tooth. Enamel is critical for the health and longevity of the tooth. Onlays help preserve the enamel as they are less invasive than crowns and require less removal of natural tooth structure. Onlays are fashioned out of porcelain creating a beautiful and natural looking tooth.
