Q&A: I was told that I need an onlay to restore my back tooth. Why can't it just be filled?

The tooth decay starts on the surface and expand inward and outward. In the beginning when the decay is relatively small it can be reliably filled directly. As the decay progress and more of the tooth structure needs to be replaced the direct fill technique (in one visit) may not be so good; the strengths of the tooth and the longevity of the filling become problematic. Then the indirect technique that involves the dental laboratory produced hardened material is used to restore the affected tooth. It creates a stronger restoration and is better controlled during the bonding process which attaches this inserts to the tooth. Since the tooth is prepared before an impression is taken in such a way as to preserve the remaining tooth structure the replacement piece is perfectly matches residual tooth structures inside and outside.

In the past, when the tooth was considerably decayed, the crown used to be made. That always requires a substantial preparation of the tooth. Instead, the dental inserts made from a tooth colored reinforced material which is neutral to the body (biocompatible) allow saving the tooth tissue with minimum grinding, bringing back the strength and beauty, get rid of any potentially harmful metallic substructure. The onlay means that this insert covers the top of the tooth so that you bite on it making the restoration and the tooth stronger.
