Porcelain Onlay is a custom made porcelain that covers the top of a posterior tooth. It involves all the cusps from the tooth, protecting it better from cracking, specially after having a root canal treatment. Porcelain onlays are made by a professional dental laboratory, requiring 2 to 3 visits, and are permanently cemented onto the tooth by your dentist. Onlays are an ideal alternative to crowns (caps) because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of onlays.
