Inlays & Onlays are frequently used to restore teeth that are severely damaged by decay or wear. They are usually applied to the chewing surface of a filling and are more conservative than a full crown.
A porcelain onlay is fabricated to fit your tooth precisely and is bonded tightly in place to strengthen and protect the damaged tooth. Like a crown an onlay covers & protects the tooth biting surface. Where a crown covers the entire tooth, an onlay fits inside the tooth cusps and covers only the biting surfaces.
