About Porcelain onlays

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, our team of aesthetic dentists—include Dr. Leila Haywood, Dr. Melissa Murphy, and Dr. Jessica Dang—who offer expert care in the placement of porcelain onlays. Porcelain onlays are custom-made dental restorations designed to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They blend seamlessly with your natural tooth colour, offering both strength and aesthetic appeal.

They are suitable for larger cavities that cannot be effectively treated with fillings but don’t require a full crown, providing a robust and natural-looking solution.

Placement Process: - Initial Consultation: Dr. Haywood, Dr. Murphy, or Dr. Dang will assess your tooth to determine if a porcelain onlay is appropriate. We utilise advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and intraoral scanners, for precise evaluation.

Preparation: The damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining structure is shaped to fit the onlay. This is done under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort.

Intraoral Scan: We use cutting-edge digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D model of your tooth, ensuring the onlay fits perfectly and matches your natural tooth structure.

Temporary Onlay: A temporary onlay may be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent onlay is being created in our lab.

Fitting and Cementation: Once your custom porcelain onlay is ready, Dr. Haywood, Dr. Murphy, or Dr. Dang will ensure it fits correctly and is seamlessly bonded to your tooth.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we are dedicated to using the latest technology to deliver optimal results. Our advanced equipment and techniques ensure that your porcelain onlays are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
