An onlay restoration is a custom made filling created by a professional dental laboratory. It is made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain and is permanently cemented into the tooth.

An onlay restoration is a common fix for broken or fractured teeth, decayed teeth, or fractured and large fillings.

What is the process of getting an Onlay?

• Several highly accurate molds are taken
• A custom Onlay and temporary restoration is created
• Decay and/or old filling materials are removed
• A temporary filling will be applied to protect the tooth
• After the Onlay is made by a dental laboratory, it is cemented into place

Why Dental Onlays?

Because they are typically made from durable, tooth-colored porcelain, dental Onlays provide much more persistent and natural-looking outcomes than metal fillings.
