SMILES ARE DR. HAWARY'S LIFE WORK, with over 35 years of experience in advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Hawary specializes in creating natural-looking onlays that restore both function and beauty to your smile. Onlays can be used to repair damaged or decayed teeth, offering a durable and aesthetic alternative to full crowns or large fillings.

Dental onlays are custom-made restorations designed to cover the biting surface and one or more cusps of a tooth. Crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite materials, they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, long-lasting result.

Onlays are ideal for preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible while providing strength and support. They are used to treat issues such as cracked teeth, large cavities, worn enamel, or old metal fillings, and can be precisely matched in shape, color, and texture to the surrounding teeth.

You may be a candidate for onlays if one or more of your teeth have cavities, cracks, chips, or damage that would typically require a large filling. Onlays are also an excellent option for replacing old metal fillings with a more natural-looking and durable restoration.

Onlays differ from other dental restorations based on how much of the tooth they cover. Inlays are smaller and fit within the grooves between the cusps on the biting surface of a tooth. Onlays cover one or more cusps, providing extra strength and protection. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of a tooth and usually require filing down the tooth to fit properly.
