Gold Onlay<\/h1>\n

Like a crown, an onlay covers and protects the tooth’s biting surface. However, where a crown covers the entire tooth, an onlay fits inside the tooth cusps and covers only the biting surfaces. Because an onlay is fabricated in a dental laboratory, it takes two or more appointments to restore a tooth with a gold onlay.<\/p>\n

A gold onlay We want the entire procedure to be comfortable for you, so the first thing we do is make sure your mouth is thoroughly numb. Depending on the size of the filling and which tooth we’re working on, we may use a rubber dam. A rubber dam is a small, flexible rubber sheet that isolates the teeth we’re working on and prevents anything from falling to the back of your throat. We’ll then use the handpiece to remove the decay and shape the tooth.<\/p>\n

The next step is to take impressions of your teeth, which we use to make models on which the dental laboratory will fabricate your gold onlay. Sometimes we put a small piece of string in the space between the tooth and the gum. We use the string to gently push the gum away from the tooth so that we can get a more complete impression. When we’re finished, we place a temporary onlay in your tooth.<\/p>\n

During the next visit, we remove the temporary onlay and make sure that your new gold onlay fits properly. We check the fit and your bite, and when everything looks good, we cement or bond your new gold onlay in place.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_button button_url=”http:\/\/centralparkdentistry.com\/newsite\/appointment\/” button_text=”Make An Appointment” admin_label=”Appointment Button” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#5a0c1c”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.3″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”76px|0px|27px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”|||”]<\/p>\n
