Onlays and Crowns
Sometimes, missing tooth structure is too large to be replaced by a filling. Onlays and crowns are indicated when extra strength is needed when it comes to restoring teeth with substantial loss of tooth structure.
For onlays or crowns to be fitted, teeth are carefully prepared while conserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Depending on tooth position and bite stress, different materials (gold, metal-porcelain, E-max, zirconium) are available to achieve the best result for the individual patient.
