Most people are more familiar with crowns and fillings.
But what happens when there is too much decay for a filling, but not enough for a crown? That is where onlays come in! 🦷
They act like a puzzle piece that fit into the teeth, but have the same material as crowns (and white color) to maintain the strength of a tooth. 💪
In the picture, the silver part of the tooth shows what a typical onlay looks like and how it fits into a tooth. When you get this restoration with us, it will be white and blend in with the rest of your tooth. ⭐
When possible, we make an effort to conserve as much natural tooth as possible which makes onlays a popular restoration. ✨
