People who have decay or damage in their teeth require restorations that can help to fix the deformities. Various dental treatments provide restoration to the patients. Dental Onlay is a type of dental treatment that is suitable for fixing a damaged tooth. At Salt Lake City, UT, Dr. David Powell, All Care Dentistry, provides onlay treatment to patients with the help of expert dentists.
Onlays are restorations that are placed over the biting surface of the tooth. It is made from materials like porcelain, composite, resin, or gold. The appearance of each material is different and the patient can choose the material that suits them the best for restoration purposes. It is a long-lasting solution that offers maximum durability in providing proper care to the teeth.
The dentists require two appointments with the patient to perform the onlay treatment. During the first appointment, the dentists analyze the decay on the tooth. The patient is provided local anesthesia and the decayed portion of the tooth is removed by the dentist. The impression of the tooth is taken, which is sent to the laboratory to fabricate the restoration. A temporary onlay is used to protect the tooth until the second appointment.
After the fabrication of the permanent restoration, the dentists remove the temporary onlay provided to the patient. The tooth is leaned and the onlay is placed on the tooth. The dentist ensures that the onlay fits perfectly on the tooth and checks the patient's bite. It is permanently bonded and polished, which provides a tooth that matches the appearance of the natural teeth.
Onlay is an ideal treatment that preserves the natural and healthy tooth structure. It restores the functionality of the decayed and damaged tooth. Onlays can be the right dental restoration for your dental problems.
