Veneers are similar to crowns, but these are only placed on teeth at the front of the mouth and, instead of covering the entire tooth, they only cover the front visible surface of the tooth.
Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution. They’re made of porcelain and affixed to the surface of your teeth to replace stained or broken teeth.
Due to their size, veneers require a much smaller dental procedure than that of a crown. They can typically be fitted in just 2 appointments.
Dental veneers are a great option for people who want a change in their smile. They cover the front of your tooth and improve its appearance.
Veneers don’t serve the same purpose as a traditional filling by preventing your teeth from wearing down, instead they are there to make your tooth color match the rest of your smile. We talk with each patient about what kind of smile they want and then create matching veneers for them.
Most people are not aware of the benefits of veneers versus crowns. Veneers are pre-formed pieces that are bonded to the front surface of a tooth for cosmetic reasons. The cosmetic benefits include whitening, reshaping, reducing size, and changing the shape of teeth. Crowns, on the other hand, cover both sides of a tooth in order to restore it to its natural shape.
Veneers are a great alternative to crowns, but they are certainly not right for everyone. Veneers are made of porcelain and cover the front of the tooth. They can be used to straighten teeth, close gaps between front teeth or cover up stains. If you want your teeth to look aesthetically perfect while still maintaining the health of your natural tooth, veneers may be a great option.
