Dental Crowns or Onlays

Dental crowns serve as protective “caps” that completely encase damaged teeth, offering:

  • Full-tooth coverage for severely compromised teeth

  • Restoration of natural tooth shape, size, and functionality

  • Protection for teeth after root canal treatment

  • Solutions for teeth with extensive decay or fractures

Crown Materials:

✔️ Porcelain – Most natural appearance
✔️ Metal – Maximum durability (gold or alloys)
✔️ Porcelain-fused-to-metal – Balance of strength & aesthetics
✔️ Zirconia – High strength with excellent aesthetics

The Versatility of Dental Onlays

Often called “partial crowns,” onlays provide:

  • Conservative treatment for moderately damaged teeth

  • Coverage of one or more cusps (chewing surfaces)

  • Preservation of healthy tooth structure

  • Ideal solution between fillings and full crowns

Onlay Benefits:

➤ More tooth structure preserved than crowns
➤ Superior durability compared to large fillings
➤ Custom-crafted for perfect fit and bite alignment

The Restoration Process: What to Expect

  1. Tooth Preparation – Removal of decay/damaged areas

  2. Impressions – Digital or physical molds for custom fabrication

  3. Temporary Restoration – Protection while permanent restoration is made

  4. Final Placement – Precise fitting and permanent bonding

Long-Term Success Factors

To maximize the lifespan of your crown or onlay (typically 10-15 years):
★ Maintain excellent oral hygiene
★ Schedule regular dental check-ups
★ Avoid chewing extremely hard foods/objects
★ Consider night guards if you grind your teeth

Why Choose These Restorations?

  • Functional Restoration: Regain full chewing ability

  • Aesthetic Improvement: Natural-looking results

  • Tooth Preservation: Save damaged teeth from extraction

  • Long-Term Solution: Durable protection against further damage

Modern dental crowns and onlays combine advanced materials with precision technology to provide patients with restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth while offering exceptional durability and function. Consult with your dentist to determine which solution best addresses your specific dental needs.
