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.

Do you have discolored teeth or spaces between teeth ??

PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain veneers

                           ✒ If you are looking for a dazzling smile, then Porcelain veneers could be the solution you have been looking for. Veneers can correct a multitude of cosmetic defects, from discolored teeth to slightly crooked teeth to gaps in your smile.

CORRECTION OF DISCOLORED TEETH WITH PORCELAIN VENEERS

                       ✒ But will the veneers look like my normal teeth? When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

                             ✒ Dental veneers are very thin shells made from tooth-like material designed to cover the front surface of teeth. Most veneers today are made of porcelain because this material resists stains better and has a light-reflecting quality similar to that of natural teeth. The veneers are placed on the front of the teeth, concealing imperfections and sometimes changing the size, shape, and length of teeth.

SPACING CLOSURE WITH
PORCELAIN VENEERS

✒ To make veneers look as natural as possible an impression is taken of your teeth and sent to a dental lab where the veneers are custom made. There are many advantages of veneers, such as:
                   
                     1. Veneers are made of material that mimics natural teeth and are individually shaped for each patient, so it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between veneers and natural teeth.
                     2.Unlike other cosmetic options, porcelain veneers won’t be stained by cigarette smoke, coffee, tea, and red wine.
                    3.The color of veneers can be selected from many whiteness shades. But you may want to resist the temptation to choose the lightest shade, cautions Harms. Blinding-white veneers often don’t look natural.


For healthy teeth, veneers can be a good substitute for crowns (also called caps), which require removal of more of your natural tooth structure.
