Are you looking for ways to restore your teeth and enhance your appearance? If so, you might be thinking about getting veneers or crowns. They\u2019re both dental restoration methods that can improve the look and function of your teeth. Although they can both help you accomplish similar results, there are some notable differences between them that are important to consider when making your decision. To help you out, we\u2019ve created a simple guide that explains the differences between the two treatments and how to choose the best one for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

Veneers<\/a> are ultra-thin sheaths of dental-grade porcelain or ceramic. They adhere to the front-facing portions of teeth, masking all kinds of flaws and imperfections. Some common issues they can address include cracked, chipped, stained, discolored, and even misaligned teeth. Although it\u2019s not recommended, veneers can<\/em> be placed on molars, or the back teeth, as well. However, this is hardly done because the molars are exposed to a lot of force when chewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Dental crowns<\/a> are three-dimensional restorations that can be custom-made from a variety of materials. In most cases, dentists make them from natural-looking porcelain or ceramic because those materials can be customized to match the size, color, and shape of your surrounding teeth. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is severely decayed or damaged. One of the perks of this type of restoration is that you can simultaneously enjoy improved oral health and an enhanced appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
