What Are Dental Crows
Veneers and dental crowns are both used to improve the aesthetics of your smile and to protect your tooth’s surface from damage. Veneers are typically made of composite and dental porcelain, while dental crowns are often bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Dental crowns can be constructed of stainless steel, which is typically used for temporary crowns, metals, or porcelain fused to metal. Dental crowns can be used to match the color of your teeth. Both porcelain veneers and dental crowns can be used to improve the overall health and appearance of your teeth.
Why Choose Veneers
The main difference from a veneer and dental crown is that a veneer is bonded to the surface of a tooth, while a crown encases the entire tooth. Dental veneers are an effective way to correct and transform your teeth and smile by utilizing contact lens-thin shells of porcelain or ceramic material that is bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers are strong, look and feel like your natural teeth, and will improve your smile immediately. This treatment is ideal for people with teeth that are stained, chipped or have gaps.
In addition, veneer treatment is typically cheaper than dental crowns and is usually a pain-free procedure. Nowadays, veneers are made out of incredibly strong porcelain. This is permanently bonded to the tooth’s structure, thus, ensuring the veneers will not fall out. Essentially, your new veneers will be as strong as your natural teeth. You can even enjoy your favorite cup of coffee, tea, red wine without worrying about staining, as you would with real teeth. This is because your natural teeth contain tooth enamel, while veneers contain porcelain, which is not porous. Veneers are an affordable and effective way to provide you with the beautiful teeth you have always dreamed about.
