Modern dentistry gives you various options for repairing a decayed or damaged tooth. For most cavities, dental fillings are the most common treatment. Crowns are often used to repair cracked or fractured teeth. For severe decay that a filling can’t fix or certain types of damage to your teeth, your Glen Mills, Pennsylvania dentist, Dr. Hema Nair, may recommend an onlay as your restorative treatment. Dental onlays from Starcare Dental offer a quick and affordable fix-it for decayed or broken teeth.
Dental onlays are special coverings like crowns used to repair and restore decayed or damaged teeth. Dental crowns cover your entire tooth, but onlays only cover part of your tooth, specifically the cusps on the biting surface. Dr. Nair will use dental cement to bond the onlay onto your tooth and cure it with a special light to harden it. Onlays can be made of ceramic, porcelain, or composite resin material and can be matched to the color of your teeth so that your restoration blends with your smile. Dental onlays on damaged front teeth can restore your smile beautifully.
As a restorative treatment, dental onlays offer several benefits in repairing and restoring a decayed or damaged tooth. They can be used to fill large cavities once the decay has been removed or to repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth when a dental crown is not needed. The following are some of the significant benefits of dental onlays:
