If you’re looking for a modern and gentle way to fix damaged or decayed teeth, porcelain onlays might be just what you need. These innovative restorations are designed to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while providing a strong, tooth-colored solution. They’re perfect for those who need something more than a simple filling but aren’t quite ready for a full crown.
At Hastings Dental Center, we take pride in offering porcelain onlays right here in Vancouver. Our goal is to provide you with a stunning, long-lasting solution that not only strengthens your tooth but also complements your smile beautifully.
What Makes Porcelain Onlays Unique?
Porcelain onlays are designed to cover one or more cusps of a tooth and are often referred to as “partial crowns.” Each onlay is meticulously crafted to match the exact shape and color of your tooth, ensuring it looks natural and feels comfortable.
One of the best things about onlays is that they require less drilling compared to traditional crowns, making them a more conservative option. Our skilled dental team in Vancouver utilizes digital scans to ensure a perfect fit, eliminating the need for messy impressions and lengthy wait times.

Porcelain Onlays for Comprehensive Tooth Restoration
An onlay procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate impressions (molds) that will be used to create your custom onlay and a temporary restoration.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will remove any decay and/or old filling materials. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared, shaping the surface to properly fit an onlay restoration. A temporary filling will be applied to protect the tooth while your onlay is made by a dental laboratory.
At your second appointment, your new onlay will be carefully and precisely cemented into place. A few adjustments may be necessary to ensure a proper fit and a comfortable bite.
You will receive care instructions upon completion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, a proper diet, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new onlay.
