Porcelain Onlays

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.
