Dental Crown: but a dental crown usually requires more tooth reduction than an onlay.
Pros
- They fit the cavity space perfectly.
- They can last longer than a dental filling.
- Help prevent decay by providing a tight seal.
- They help to distribute chewing forces evenly in the mouth and hence protect vulnerable teeth.
- Tooth-colored inlays/onlays can be matched exactly to the natural teeth and are aesthetic.
Cons
- Requires two visits to the clinic
