Onlays

  dentistry by Dr. Robinson

Similar to crowns, onlays restore natural tooth structure damaged by fractures or decay. Onlays are custom made in a laboratory and bonded to the tooth during a follow-up visit. Onlays outperform standard fillings by strengthening (not weakening) the tooth structure. An onlay is a more conservative alternative to a full crown since it preserves the healthy tooth structure and only the damaged parts are removed.
