Onlays

You have a big filling that needs replacement. Do you have to get a full crown? Not necessarily. A more conservative option, onlays fit into a tooth similarly to a filling, yet they are laboratory-made restorations, similar to a crown.

Not every situation is right for an onlay. Dr. LeVos will assess your problem and determine the best solution for you. Because they are created in a lab like a crown, onlays require two appointments. At the first visit, we will prepare your tooth by removing your tooth decay or old filling and cleaning the area. We will make an impression and send it to our laboratory so that a technician can create a custom onlay for you. Dr. LeVos will determine the best material to use. You will have a temporary onlay until your final restoration is finished.
