Onlays
A tooth can only hold so much filling material. When you have more filling than tooth and you need something stronger, an onlay may be the restoration of choice.
See an Onlay example
An onlay replaces missing and weak areas of your tooth. Healthy areas are left alone. Onlays leave more of your natural tooth structure than a crown would.
Gentle Dentistry's favorite material for an onlay is a pressed porcelain material. There is no metal in the restoration to block the reflection of light, so it looks like a real tooth. Also, the gum tissue stays healthier when there isn't any artificial material at the gum line, like there is with a crown.
