VENEERS Vs CROWNS

VENEERS vs CROWNS

           A dental crown covers the whole surface area of the tooth, whereas the veneers only covers the front surface. Both improve the overall appearance of teeth and can be a truly life-changing cosmetic procedure.

DIFFERENCE?

     A dental crown is 2mm thick and encases the whole tooth, working as a “cap". 

A porcelain veneer covers the front surface of the tooth only and is usually wafer-thin like shell.

                          

Both veneers and crowns are dental treatments used to restore the teeth that are either damaged, discolored, crooked, decayed, chipped, cracked or broken teeth.

Advantages of crowns:

• A dental crown can alleviate the symptoms of inflammation, sensitivity on the       tooth and general toothache.
•  Crowns last much longer than most other dental treatments.
• Protects teeth with cracks or cavities.
• Enhances the tooth’s appearance while also protecting the weak structure.

Disadvantages of Crowns:

• Is more invasive to your tooth than a dental veneer.
• Could have a visible metal base, depending on the design and materials used.

                                         

Advantages Of Veneers:

• Aesthetically pleasing.
• Veneers doesn't require a lot of trimming, so more of your natural healthy tooth structure remains.
• Can replace the need for whitening or braces (in some cases).

Disadvantages Of Veneers:

• Can be expensive.
• Are usually non-reversible.

Which One Is Right For You?

Dental crowns are typically the best option if your tooth is very damaged, has a large filling, or has undergone a root canal, since the tooth enamel is more compromised and will need better protection. 

Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are best for purely cosmetic purposes. If your tooth is mostly intact and only needs minor shape correction or an improved appearance, then your dentist will likely recommend veneers.

Long term missing teeth - chronic headaches. Best dental clinic in chennai, OMR.

MISSING TEETH REPLACEMENT WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS

An old female patient, aged 56 years came to our clinic with pain in left upper cheek region and mild swelling under eyes & left cheek area, and also complains of continuous headaches.

 She also complains of long term missing teeth in lower back teeth region on both sides and have difficulty in chewing food.

On intraoral examination -- there is severely infected root canal treated teeth in upper left back teeth region.

And root stumps in lower right back teeth region, and there is missing left back teeth.

As there is long term missing teeth on both sides, the bite got collapsed and the opposing tooth of right side got supraerupted(drifted towards missing teeth space) and because of this she had chronic headaches. 

 To correct the bite, we need to create space for replacing the missing teeth, so we advised to go for root canal treatment and crowns for opposing teeth in upper right side and advised re-root canal treatment and crowns for severely infected teeth in upper left side. 

And advised removal of root stumps in lower right side,and replacement of lower right and left sides missing teeth with Implants followed by Zirconia crowns.

Dental implants and dental bridge - better one ?

DENTAL IMPLANTS Vs DENTAL BRIDGE

In dental implants, there is no need of support from adjacent teeth and implants take support from the underlying bone.

In dental bridge,there is need to take support from the adjacent natural teeth.

Dental implants can be used to replace more than one missing teeth.

In dental bridge, dentist needs healthy adjacent teeth for support.

Dental implants preserve the bone quality and quantity.

In dental bridges, we can see the decreased bone quality and quantity in missing teeth region over the years.

Dental implants are esthetic, functional, comfortable in long term use also.

In dental bridges, gums and bone can recede around bridge, leaving a visible defect and leads to unattractive smile.
