ONLAY RESTORATION

Dental Code: D2644 – Onlay Restoration
This procedure is performed when dental fillings are not enough to solve the problem such as in cuspal fracture. Capping a damaged tooth unnecessarily with a dental crown removes more tooth structure than needed. But a large dental filling can weaken the remaining structure of the tooth, causing the tooth to break, crack or eventually need a root canal.
It is an indirect restoration which incorporates a cusp or cusp by covering or onlaying the missing cusp
An onlay is sometimes also referred to as a partial crown. It is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented onto the tooth by your dentist.

Reasons for onlay restorations:
- Broken or fractured teeth.
- Cosmetic enhancement.
- Decayed teeth.
- Fractured fillings.
- Large fillings.
