PORCELAIN ONLAYS

A porcelain onlay is a custom-made filling made of composite
material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. Dr. Ideus will
permanently cement the porcelain onlay onto the tooth.
Onlays are used when there are large defective fillings or due
to decay or trauma.
What is the process of an onlay procedure?
Two appointments are normally scheduled. The first appointment
includes taking an accurate impression that will be used to create
a custom onlay.
While the tooth is numb, Dr. Ideus will remove any decay and/or
old filling materials. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and
carefully prepared, shaping the surface to properly fit an onlay
restoration. A temporary filling will be added to protect the tooth
while the onlay is being made. On the second appointment,
the new onlay will be cemented into place.
