Dental Overlays
Rebuild teeth with a dental overlay
Protect broken down or worn back teeth with naturally tooth coloured ceramic overlays.
In instances where back teeth have been damaged by tooth decay, cracks, fractures or wear, sometimes the most effective and conservative way to rebuild the tooth is with a dental overlay.
Benefits of Dental Overlays
Preservation
Dental overlays can help preserve the structure of a tooth that is at risk of further damage.
Restoration
Dental overlays can restore the function and appearance of a tooth that has been damaged by decay or wear.
Minimally invasive
Dental overlays are a more conservative treatment option than dental crowns and do not require as much tooth reduction.
Longevity
Dental overlays can be used for a variety of conditions, including for strengthening teeth, improving bite, and closing gaps between teeth.
Versatility
Dental overlays can be used for a variety of conditions, including for strengthening teeth, improving bite, and closing gaps between teeth.
How dental overlays are made
Again, similar to crowns and veneers, our overlays are fabricated by master dental technicians using the most modern high strength tooth coloured ceramic materials. The overlays are then bonded in place and help to restore the appearance and function of a natural tooth.
How are overlays different from crowns and fillings?
Overlays cover a larger area than fillings but require less tooth reduction than crowns. They provide a strong, durable restoration while maintaining as much of the natural tooth as possible.
How long do dental overlays last?
With proper care, dental overlays can last 10–15 years or more. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups help extend their lifespan.
Are dental overlays a good option for me?
If you have a tooth with extensive decay, cracks, or damage but don’t need a full crown, an overlay may be a great option to restore strength and function while preserving more of your natural tooth.
