Onlays

In cases where a dental lesion is severe, the dentist may opt for the use of composites reinforced with glass fiber or ceramics. These materials make the tooth more resistant to wear and tear, enhancing its durability. The treatment typically occurs over two sessions, as the restoration preparation is performed in a laboratory.

The placement of an Onlay involves less removal of the tooth structure compared to crown placement. Onlays are a conservative option that preserves more of the natural tooth, while ceramic crowns are generally recommended when there has been significant loss of dental tissue or for aesthetic purposes.
