Onlay Restorations in Surprise, AZ

An onlay restoration, sometimes called a partial crown, is a conservative alternative to a full crown that restores a damaged or decayed tooth while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

Onlays are used when a tooth has too much damage to be repaired with a filling but does not require a full crown. They cover one or more cusps of the tooth and are custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory from high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials.

Because onlays are bonded directly to the tooth, they actually strengthen the remaining tooth structure. They are more durable than large fillings and provide a more conservative option than a full crown when the situation allows.

Our prosthodontist will carefully evaluate your tooth and recommend the most appropriate restoration. We take detailed impressions to ensure that your onlay fits precisely and blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.
