Porcelain onlays are custom-made restorations designed to repair teeth with more extensive damage than a filling can treat while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. At Chiswick Park Dental, our porcelain onlays are crafted to restore the strength, function and natural appearance of your teeth.
An onlay covers one or more of the tooth’s chewing surfaces and cusps, providing a durable and long-lasting solution. Carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth, porcelain onlays blend seamlessly into your smile while offering excellent protection.
