Veneers

 
 
Quite often patients wonder what the difference is between a dental crown and a veneer. The answer is simple. A dental crown is used to cover the entire tooth whereas a veneer covers only the front part of your tooth. Both of them are made in such a way that they match the natural color of your teeth. A veneer is actually less invasive than a crown because a larger part of the original tooth can remain intact.

Veneers are usually the preferred choice for cosmetic restoration or for minor shape corrections whereas crowns are the best option when the health of the tooth has been compromised. For example, if the tooth has a large filling or if you have undergone root canal treatment for this particular tooth.
