Fox Dental: Where Smiles are Remarkable
VENEERS AND CROWNS
Veneers and crowns are both cosmetic dental restorations used to improve the appearance and function of teeth, but they serve different purposes.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material (usually porcelain or composite resin) that cover the front surface of a tooth. They are ideal for improving the appearance of teeth that are chipped, stained, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers are minimally invasive, requiring only a small amount of enamel to be removed from the tooth.
Crowns, on the other hand, are full coverage caps that encase the entire tooth. They are used to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or weakened, often due to decay, fractures, or large fillings. Crowns are designed to restore the tooth's strength, shape, and appearance. The process usually requires more tooth structure to be removed compared to veneers.
Both options can provide a natural-looking result and improve the overall aesthetics and functionality of your smile.
