Veneers or Crowns?

You’ve made the decision to upgrade your smile. Time to have that killer smile you’ve been dreaming about.

Which cosmetic dental treatment is right for you? Do you go with veneers or crowns? Let's have a look at the difference. Be assured that here at Smile Craft Dental Studio in Lutz FL, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry and are here to guide you to the best option.

Both crowns and veneers are common dental restoration procedures that improve the look and function of your natural teeth. Crowns cover the entire tooth surface while a veneer covers only the front. It’s important to consult with one of our well-qualified dentists to determine which choice is best for you.

Crowns are more intensive. They require more of the surface of the tooth to ground down to prepare for placement vs a veneer. If there is any decay, this will be removed prior to the crown placement. If the tooth has already had a large filling or is very worn or cracked, a crown is likely the best option.

Veneers are great for cosmetic applications, improving the appearance of discolored, chipped, or broken teeth. Veneers are thin shells, matched to the color of your natural teeth, and are made of porcelain or composite resin material. They are permanently bonded to the surface of the tooth. You can get one veneer for that problem tooth or six to eight to create that perfect smile. The majority of veneers are placed on the top front eight teeth.
