Both veneers and crowns restore the appearance of your teeth, but they solve different problems. Understanding what they are and how they differ is the best way to choose.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain coverings bonded to the front of your teeth. They correct minor imperfections like discoloration or chips, last up to 15 years, and are less invasive than crowns — completed in about two visits.
What are crowns?
Crowns, or “caps,” encase the entire tooth from top to bottom. They’re more durable and ideal for repairing large fillings, fractures, or severely damaged teeth, but require more extensive preparation.
Which is right for you?
Veneers suit minor cosmetic improvements; crowns suit weak or damaged teeth that need durable structural repair. We offer comprehensive evaluations to help you decide.
