Do you have a chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged tooth requiring a solution? If so, there are two popular treatments your dentist might recommend: porcelain veneers<\/a> or a dental crown. Both options can restore your tooth\u2019s appearance and functionality simultaneously, so how do you know which is right for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to have questions about potential procedures if you\u2019re unfamiliar with them. With that in mind, continue reading to learn more about each method to make a well-informed decision for your dental health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin shells made from resilient materials, like ceramic or composite resin, that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to mask imperfections. They can address one or several aesthetic concerns like discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, or mild overcrowding. Furthermore, they can be customized to match (or improve) the shape, shade, and size of your natural teeth. They\u2019re also coated with a durable glaze to resist potential staining and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Are Veneers Ideal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These prosthetics are considered a cosmetic treatment, meaning that they\u2019re intended to enhance your looks more than your oral health. They can be used to cover various problem areas so that you have a picture-perfect smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your troublesome tooth isn\u2019t located in the front of your mouth or has sustained more significant damage, you might do better with a dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental crowns are a more functional restoration whose main purpose is to protect and preserve your tooth\u2019s functionality. That said, it can also be customized to look just like your natural teeth. These tooth-shaped caps are also usually comprised of ceramic or resin, but instead of covering only the front surface of your tooth, these are bonded on top of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Are Dental Crowns Ideal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist might recommend this method if you have a tooth that\u2019s more severely injured by decay, has undergone a root canal, or is too broken to be fixed with a filling. These prosthetics are perfect for teeth with worn-down enamel that require added protection. They\u2019re also a great solution for broken molars because they can withstand more bite and chewing force before wearing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re still unsure of the best way to remedy your concerns with your smile, the best next step is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. They\u2019ll examine your condition and update your medical history so they can then suggest an appropriate procedure to address your unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
