Dental Onlays
Dental Onlays
Need a durable solution for damaged teeth? At Riverside Dental Practice, we offer custom-made dental onlays in Putney to restore your teeth’s strength, function, and beauty — all while preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
A dental onlay is a custom restoration that covers a damaged or decayed area of a tooth, often extending over one or more cusps (the pointed parts of a tooth). It’s sometimes called a “partial crown” because it offers the strength of a crown while being more conservative.
- Large Cavities: Too big for a filling, but not needing a full crown.
- Fractured Teeth: Protects and rebuilds cracked or chipped teeth.
- Worn Teeth: Restores lost tooth structure from grinding or erosion.
- Failed Fillings: Replaces old or broken fillings.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: Improves shape and color when needed.
- Conserves Natural Tooth: Less removal compared to crowns.
- Strengthens Tooth: Distributes chewing forces evenly.
