Should You Go with a Dental Crown or a Dental Veneer for Your Tooth Restoration?

Posted .

The plethora of options for tooth restorations at our dentist office is a wonderful luxury to have. With services such as crowns and veneers, the ideal smile you desire can be yours. If your teeth have any damage that needs to protected, a dental crown may be a better option. If you are simply looking to upgrade the look of a tooth, veneers may be the better choice. Here are some of the benefits of each:

What are the benefits of dental crowns?
– Dental crowns can protect and prevent further damage from occurring to teeth.
– Dental crowns can be colored and shaded to match the look of your natural teeth.
– Dental crowns completely encapsulate a tooth down to the gum line for stability, durability, and protection.
– Dental crowns can be used to protect previous services including root canals, fillings, and implants.

What are the benefits of dental veneers?
– Dental crowns can be colored and shaded to match the look of your natural teeth.
– Veneers completely conceal the fronts of teeth only.
– Veneers are thin and durable and require less tooth enamel to be taken off for bonding the treatments to teeth than crowns.
– Veneers are mainly for aesthetics only.
