In contrast,Veneers offer a less invasive alternative for improving aesthetics and functionality without altering as much of your natural tooth structure.They’re typically used for cosmetic improvements but aren’t ideal for major structural improvements like bridging gaps between missing teeth or capping severely damaged ones—areas where crowns shine.
The procedure for fitting a crown typically involves two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing its outer portion so that the crown fits properly. If required, additional procedures like building up core or root canal treatment may also be performed at this stage. An impression is then taken to provide an exact mold for crafting the crown in a dental lab.
Primarily used for cosmetic purposes, dental veneers offer solutions for various aesthetic issues including discolored teeth (due either naturally or due to root canal treatment), worn down or chipped/broken teeth, misaligned or irregularly shaped teeth and even gaps between teeth.
