What are
Dental Onlays?

Dental onlays are a conservative solution for restoring teeth that have been damaged by decay or everyday wear. Unlike crowns, which cover the entire tooth, onlays repair only the affected area, helping to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

The process starts with carefully preparing the tooth and capturing highly detailed digital impressions using our state-of-the-art 3D scanners. These scans are used to design a custom onlay that fits your tooth with absolute precision. It’s then crafted from durable, tooth-coloured materials that offer both strength and a natural look.

Once ready, the onlay is bonded to your tooth to restore its shape, function, and appearance — all without compromising the health of the surrounding structure.

Common signs you may need a Dental Onlay

Early treatment with onlays prevents further decay or damage and safeguards the integrity of your natural teeth. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, book a consultation to chat through your options.
