What are Onlay Restorations?

Onlay restorations are custom-made dental restorations used to repair teeth that have more extensive damage or decay than can be addressed with a simple filling but don’t require a full dental crown. Onlays are designed to cover the chewing surface of a tooth, extending over one or more of its cusps (the raised points on the chewing surface).

Benefits of Onlay Restorations

• Preservation of Tooth Structure: Onlays are more conservative than dental crowns as they require less removal of healthy tooth structure while still providing strong and durable restoration.
• Custom Fit: Onlays are custom-made to fit the specific shape and size of your tooth, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.
• Natural Appearance: Onlays are made from tooth-coloured materials such as porcelain or composite resin, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful and natural-looking result.
• Durability: Onlays are highly resistant to wear and staining, providing long-lasting results that can withstand the forces of chewing and biting.

The Onlay Restoration Process

The process of receiving an onlay restoration at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby typically involves the following steps:

• Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced dentists will examine your oral health and discuss your treatment options, including onlay restorations.
• Preparation: The affected tooth will be prepared by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the onlay restoration.
• Impressions: Impressions of your tooth will be taken to create a custom-made onlay that fits precisely into the prepared tooth.
• Temporary Restoration: While your permanent onlay is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, a temporary restoration may be placed to protect the tooth.
• Bonding: Once your custom onlay is ready, it will be bonded to the tooth using dental adhesive, providing a secure and durable restoration.
• Final Adjustments: Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your onlay fits comfortably and functions properly.
