[ worth knowing ]
An onlay covers only the weakened part of the tooth, so it’s usually more conservative than a full crown. Which one suits depends on how much healthy tooth remains.
[ how it goes ]
Preparation and 3D scan, then either a same-day ceramic made and bonded in a single visit, or a temporary restoration and a laboratory-made ceramic bonded about two weeks later.
All dental procedures carry risks, which are discussed with you before treatment. Suitability is confirmed at an in-person examination, and individual results vary.
