Dental Overlays

At Northwest Smile Center, we’re proud to offer custom dental overlays, also known as partial crowns, as an advanced option for repairing damaged or decayed teeth. Overlays are an ideal solution when a tooth is too compromised for a simple filling but doesn’t require a full crown. The beauty of overlays is that they allow you to preserve more of your natural tooth—something no modern dental option can fully replace.

Why Choose a Dental Overlay?

Preserving your natural tooth structure is essential for long-term oral health, and overlays help you do just that. By covering and protecting the damaged part of the tooth, overlays restore both the function and appearance of your tooth while maintaining as much of your natural tooth as possible. This makes overlays a true gamechanger in both prevention and restoration. Keeping a real, rooted tooth is far better than any artificial solution, and an overlay allows you to avoid more invasive treatments like full crowns.

How Does It Work?

After carefully preparing your tooth, we create a custom overlay that fits precisely over the affected area, typically covering one or two cusps on a molar. Made from high-quality, durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, the overlay is bonded securely to your tooth. This not only restores the tooth’s function but also ensures a seamless, natural appearance, as the overlay can be color-matched to your teeth. The result is a strong, invisible restoration that preserves your natural tooth structure.
