Do you have one or more decaying or damaged teeth? Are you looking to improve your oral health along with the beauty and function of your smile? If so, a dental onlay may just be the treatment that can help you reach your goals. At Dental Masters, we provide patients with onlays as an effective and more aesthetically-pleasing alternative to traditional dental fillings.

What Are Dental Onlays?

Dental onlays are restorations designed to repair teeth that have experienced decay or damage. They are an alternative to fillings, and they offer several advantages. Onlays cover the entire chewing surface of a tooth, providing more protection than a filling alone. In addition to providing strength and protection, onlays also look very natural. They are designed to blend in with your other teeth for a seamless, attractive smile.

How Long Do Onlays Last?

The life of a dental onlay depends on how well you care for your teeth and how much wear and tear they experience. With proper oral hygiene, onlays can last up to 20 years before needing replacement. Regular dental checkups can also help extend the life of your onlays.

Do Dental Onlays Hurt?

Getting a dental onlay is not typically painful. Your dentist may use a local anesthetic to help manage any discomfort you feel during the procedure. Afterward, your mouth may be sore for several days while it gets used to the restoration. However, over-the-counter medications can help with this pain and discomfort.

Caring For Your Mouth With Onlays

Proper oral hygiene is essential for the longevity of your onlays. Make sure to brush and floss regularly, as well as visit your dentist twice a year for check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, avoid biting down on hard objects such as ice or candy, as this can damage your restoration.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Aimee P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."

Brett E.

"Dr. Laviola explained everything down to the last detail ..Soon after I was getting prepared for a life-changing event with dental implants. The surgery was so simple ..If you follow all instructions on medications there is little to no pain. The dental surgeon is amazing ..Everything from start to finish was done with perfection."
