Restorative

Crowns & Onlays

Rebuild a broken or heavily filled tooth — strength and aesthetics together.

When a tooth is cracked, heavily filled or root-treated, a crown or onlay rebuilds it in strong, tooth-coloured ceramic. An onlay is the more conservative option — it restores only the damaged part rather than covering the whole tooth — and we choose it wherever the tooth allows.

All our crowns and onlays are designed from your digital scan and milled or layered to match your natural teeth in shade and translucency, so a back-tooth restoration disappears and a front-tooth one is indistinguishable.

Is it right for you?

Who crowns & onlays suits

Cracked or heavily filled teeth, root-treated teeth, and worn back teeth that need rebuilding for function as well as looks.

Unsure whether this is the best route for your smile? At a 3D Smile Design consult we assess your teeth, show you the options on screen, and give you an honest recommendation — even when that means a more conservative treatment than the one you came in for.

FAQ

Crowns & onlays — your questions

Crown or onlay?

If enough healthy tooth remains, an onlay is the more conservative choice and we prefer it. A full crown is used when the tooth is more broken down. We will show you the difference on your scan.

Are they noticeable?

No — modern ceramic crowns and onlays are matched to your natural teeth in colour and translucency, so they blend in.

How long do they last?

With good hygiene, ceramic crowns and onlays commonly last 10–15 years or more.
