As with most dental restorations, onlays are not always permanent and may someday require replacement. They are highly

What does getting an onlay involve?
At Normandy Dentistry, using CEREC technology we can save you time by performing the onlay procedure in one
appointment. Typically, onlay appointments require a minimum of two appointments separated by two weeks
of laboratory work. That's a lot of time in the chair, with a temporary, and away from work.
With CEREC technology, a specialized camera is used to take a highly accurate digital impression that will be used to create
your custom porcelain onlay on site.
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 digital impression is then taken and
your porcelain onlay is then designed on our computer for an accurate beautiful fit. Once designed, the computer wirelessly
transmits the information to our CEREC milling unit that will carve your onlay out of a solid piece of porcelain.
As soon as the machine is done, your new onlay will be carefully and precisely cemented into place. A few adjustments may
be necessary to ensure a proper fit and that your bite is comfortable.
You will receive care instruction at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, a proper diet, and regular
dental visits will aid in the life of your new onlay.
