Will You Choose Dental Crowns or Dental Veneers? Get the Facts

Looking for information so you can choose between dental crowns and dental veneers? If one or more of your teeth are in need of repair, then know that crowns and veneers are two common options dental patients are choosing these days. The reason is that these tooth repair options can not only improve your overall oral health by fixing your teeth problems, they also allow for you to have an aesthetically pleasing smile once they are placed in your mouth. More and more dentists are putting an emphasis on making sure their patient's restorations look great as well as function great, increasing your chances of having a smile you can always be proud to show.

Why choose dental crowns?

The following is a list of reasons why dental crowns are used and how they can benefit the patient:

• Dental crowns are used often to save a tooth that has been weakened by tooth decay. Teeth are meant to last one's entire lifetime and a crown can save it from being lost.
• Dental crowns can be used to cover up a fractured tooth, which helps to prevent the tooth from breaking in half.
• Dental crowns are often recommended for those who have been diagnosed with bruxism, as the wear and tear of grinding one’s teeth will eventually begin to wear down the teeth as well as remove the enamel and therefore a crown can help protect the teeth from becoming damaged.
• Dental crowns may be necessary after removing an old filling because the tooth may be too weak to support another filling.

Why choose dental veneers?

The following is a list of reasons why dental veneers are used and how they can benefit the patient:

• Dental veneers are a common option among those who have discolored teeth and would like them to appear whiter and brighter.
• Dental veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that are misaligned, are too small or too big and have irregular shapes.
• Dental veneers can help close gaps in between the teeth as long as the gaps are not too wide.
• Dental veneers can be used to cover up teeth damage, like having a small chip in them.
