a lab processed inlay that provides bracing around the sides of the tooth
a more extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth
a more substantial reconstruction, similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth
a porcelain restoration that extends beyond the cusp tips of a tooth
a solid piece of porcelain that is bonded to the tooth, providing strength and support
When a tooth has a large filling that doesn't quite need a crown for side wall support, but a filling might not be strong enough by itself or be aesthetically compromised, then an onlay is placed. Generally, these are either cast from gold or made from porcelain and are quite strong.
Similar to an inlay except that the filling is also applied to the biting surface of the tooth.
Same as inlay but includes replacement of at least one tooth cusp.
restoration used when 3/4 of a tooth and part of the cusps are missing
A gold and alloy restoration that is used to repair a tooth by covering the cusps. The onlay usually protects the tooth from fracture.
A restoration ( metal or porcelain) made to fit over the prepared tooth.
A Lab Processed restoration involving the high-points of the teeth or Cusps
Restoration that is extended to cover the entire incisal or occlusal surface of the tooth; often used to restore lost tooth structure and increase the height of the tooth.
An indirect restoration which is made outside of the mouth and bonded or cemented onto a portion of a tooth in need of repair, such as replacing a molar's cusp.
a type of restoration (filling) made of metal, porcelain, or acrylic that is more extensive than an inlay in that it covers one or more cusps. Onlays are sometimes called partial crowns.
A porcelain, resin, or gold filling that protects a tooth by covering the chewing surface.
A restoration covers the entire biting surface of a tooth.
An indirect restoration made outside the oral cavity that overlays a cusp or cusps of the tooth, which is then luted to the tooth.
Laboratory produced restoration covering one or more cusps of a tooth
Tooth-colored restoration made of porcelain, cemented or bonded in place
A gold or porcelain inlay extended to cover the cusps for protection of the tooth, leaving more natural tooth than a crown. See "Restoring your teeth."
A strong, durable material made outside the mouth used to replace part of a tooth, including one or more points or cusps of the tooth, (can be metallic or tooth-colored) and is cemented or bonded once it is constructed. Compare to a filling which is packed into the tooth. Also compare to an inlay, which does not replace a cusp. An onlay is an indirect restoration.
a precision cast filling, usually made of gold or porcelain, covering the entire chewing surface of the tooth; larger than an inlay.
A cast restoration, usually made of gold, which covers, protects or reinforces one or more cusps of a tooth.
Similar to inlays but are used instead to restore the occlusal (chewing) surface of the incisal (biting) edge of the tooth.
a custom-made porcelain filling. Usually used to restore teeth damaged by large silver-mercury fillings. Go to Onlay procedure.
A gold, porcelain, or composite custom-made tooth restoration cemented or bonded to the tooth. Onlays are much like inlays, but include one, two, three or even four cusps. Like inlays and crowns, onlays are fabricated in a dental lab from an impression of the prepared tooth.
A crown like structure, which is placed on the tooth structure not to cover the entire, tooth and cemented on the tooth.
A laboratory processed restoration made of metal, porcelain or acrylic that replaces one or more of the highest points of the tooth (cusps).
