Onlays

An onlay is a type of dental restoration that is similar to an inlay, but it covers one or more of the tooth cusps (the raised areas on the biting surface of a tooth). It is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or injury, but not as extensively as a tooth that requires a crown. Onlays can be made of materials such as gold, porcelain, or composite resin and are custom-made in a dental laboratory. They are then bonded or cemented onto the tooth to restore its shape, strength and function. Onlays can be used as an alternative to traditional fillings or crowns and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
