What are Veneers, actually?
Veneers are thin, customized shells made of tooth-colored material that are applied to the front surface of the teeth to improve the appearance of discolored, unevenly shaped, or broken teeth. Veneers are a popular option because they are less invasive than crowns and usually require little to no removal of tooth enamel (known as non-prep veneers) or only a thin layer of enamel needs to be removed to make room for the veneers.
Our team of dental technicians works closely with our practice to design customized veneers that are perfectly matched to your teeth and face. We only use high-quality materials to ensure that your veneers not only look beautiful but also last a long time.
If you choose veneers in our private dental practice, you can be sure that you will receive a personalized treatment tailored to your needs. We work closely with you to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your new smile.
Veneers vs. Crowns:
5 facts that will help you better understand the difference between veneers and crowns:
-
Veneers and crowns have different applications: Veneers are mainly used to correct aesthetic problems such as discoloration, minor misalignments, and chipped edges, while crowns are used to restore damaged or severely worn teeth.
-
Veneers are less invasive than crowns: Veneers typically require only a thin layer of enamel to be removed, while crowns require a significant amount of tooth structure to be removed to make room for the crown.
-
Veneers can be applied more quickly: Veneers can usually be customized and applied in a single session, while crowns may require multiple appointments to customize and fit.
-
Crowns offer better stability: Since crowns cover and encase more tooth structure, they generally offer better stability and durability than veneers.
-
Veneers are more cost-effective than crowns: Veneers are usually less expensive than crowns since they require less tooth structure and can be applied more quickly. However, the exact cost depends on each patient's individual needs.
It's important to note that both veneers and crowns have specific pros and cons, and each case should be evaluated individually to choose the best option. A qualified dentist can help you decide on the best option for your specific needs and advise you on the pros and cons of veneers versus crowns.
