Dental Porcelain Onlays
Dental Porcelain Onlays in Joplin, MO
Dental porcelain onlays are custom-made restorations that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth, providing a natural and durable solution.
When your tooth has been weakened by a large cavity, a previous large filling, or a part of your tooth has fractured off, an onlay might be the best option for the long-term health of your tooth. An onlay is a stronger material that covers a large portion of the tooth. It is an excellent option for restoring your tooth to 90% of its original strength.
Reasons for Porcelain Onlays:
Preserves more of the natural tooth structure
Blends with your tooth for a natural appearance
Strengthens weak teeth
Less likely to get new tooth decay
Less irritation to the gums
Less likely to require a future root canal
An onlay is less stressful to your tooth than a crown and can provide excellent, long-term tooth protection.
