Onlays

Onlays are essentially identical to inlays with the exception that one or more cusps have been included in the preparation. In other words, decay or trauma has affected the cusps, necessitating their replacement. Onlays may be composed of the same materials as inlays - tooth - colored composite resin, porcelain or gold. They are sometimes also referred to as partial crowns.
 


Treatment:
Inlays and onlays are applied in two visits. On the first visit, any old filling material and/or decay will be removed; An impression will be taken to record the shape of the tooth being repaired and the teeth around it. A temporary filling will be applied to protect the tooth while you wait for your restoration to be made.

At the second appointment after your restoration has come back from the lab, your dentist will cement it in place; small adjustments may need to be made so that the tooth is comfortable to bite on.

 

Restorative Care:
Composite Fillings, Inlays, Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, and Partials
