FAQs
What is an onlay restoration?
An onlay is a type of dental restoration that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. It’s often used when the damage is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown. Onlays help strengthen the tooth and protect it from further decay or damage.
How long do onlay restorations last?
With proper care, onlays can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Their durability depends on good oral hygiene, avoiding excessive biting forces, and regular dental checkups at San Angel Dental.
Are onlays painful to get?
Getting an onlay is generally comfortable. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal but usually short-lived.
How do onlays compare to crowns?
Onlays are more conservative because they preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Crowns cover the entire tooth, often requiring more removal of healthy enamel. Your dentist at San Angel Dental will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
Can onlays be matched to my natural tooth color?
Yes. Onlays are custom-made from tooth-colored materials like porcelain or composite resin, ensuring a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.
