A few adjustments may be necessary to ensure a proper fit and that your bite is comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span>You will receive care instruction at the conclusion of your treatment.&nbsp; Good oral hygiene practices, a proper diet, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new onlay.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n        <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"document.location.href='\/procedures\/cosmetic-dentistry\/'\" value=\"&lt;&lt;\" class=\"Button\" onmouseout=\"this.className='Button'\" onmouseover=\"this.className='ButtonHover'\" id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_btnBack\" name=\"ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$btnBack\"><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porcelain Onlays An onlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain.&nbsp;
