Here’s the ‘tooth’–we all want a perfect, sparkling, and healthy smile. Sometimes, achieving that smile takes a little extra help from veneers. Patients looking for a more permanent cosmetic solution may benefit from porcelain veneers.
Veneers: What Are They and What Do They Do?
Veneers are much more than meets the gum! They are thin, tooth-shaped porcelain pieces tailored to your smile. When they’re bonded to the front of your teeth, they can help create a healthier, more beautiful smile by correcting dental problems like:
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth that are too small or too large
- Crooked teeth
- Teeth that are extremely discolored or stained
- Unwanted or uneven spaces between teeth
Veneers vs Crowns
Now here’s the toothy question of the day: What’s the difference between veneers and crowns? Let’s break it down!
- While veneers cover only the front of the tooth, crowns cover the entire tooth.
- Porcelain crowns are better suited for broken, fractured, or decayed teeth.
- Both give you a long-lasting, healthier smile!
