FAQ’s :

1. Are onlays better than crowns?

Onlays vs Dental Crowns. These are single-tooth restorations, reserved for larger areas of decay where a filling or inlay won’t work due to the amount of tooth structure lost. The costs are similar.

2. How long does a dental onlay take?

Generally, each visit will take about one hour, although the first appointment tends to be longer with an onlay.

3. How long do inlays and onlays last?

Composite fillings can be expected to last about five to seven years; crowns, inlays and Onlays last 10 to 15 years.

4. How long does a crown last?

The average crown should last for 5-15 years. Some have even been known to last up to 25 years if they are well maintained.

5. Why do crowns fail?

Bite issues: One of the most common reasons that a crown fails is due to bite issues, especially in patients who grind or clench their teeth. Decay: Especially with older crowns, decay can become your worst enemy. The crown itself won’t decay or corrode, but your natural tooth underneath the crown is still vulnerable.

6. What’s the difference between a filling and a crown?

Fillings are done to replace small damaged part of teeth and crowns are done when remaining tooth structure is weak and requires protection.
