Dental veneers and porcelain crowns restore the functionality and beauty of teeth. While they both have similar results, they are quite different. Knowing the differences between a veneer and crown are what help people decide between them.

What are porcelain crowns?
Typically, a dental crown is 2mm thick and encases the whole tooth, working as a “cap”. Dental crowns can be used to rebuild the strength or decayed teeth, to restore the natural shape or size or generally just to improve appearances.
What are dental veneers?
A porcelain veneer allows you to disguise any irregularities you may have. Whether your teeth are crooked, gapped or protruding – a porcelain veneer enhances self – confidence instantly. The purpose of veneer is similar to that of dental crowns, however, the processes are somewhat different in that very little enamel is filled in preparation for a veneer.
How do dental veneers differ from porcelain crowns?
If you’ve been hoping to change the appearance of your teeth, you may have come across a number of options, two of the most popular being dental veneers and crowns. Both of these approaches can prove extremely effective in enhancing your smile and can also help to improve speech and reduce any discomfort while eating.
A porcelain veneer covers the front surface of the tooth only and is usually water-thin. When compared to dental crowns, a veneer ensures there is only a slight adjustment to the natural tooth rather than a substantial reduction in enamel. Both cosmetic procedures use the same porcelain, however, only a thin layer of porcelain is applied over the tooth when a veneer is created, whereas the whole tooth is covered for a crown.
Which one is better for you?
The key difference between crowns and veneers is that crowns are thicker, covering the entire tooth whereas veneers are thinner and are designed to just cover the front of tooth – so when it comes to which is best for front teeth, it really depends on the severity of the tooth condition. For example, if you have cracked your front tooth, whereas something more minor such as severe staining may only require a veneer to get your smile looking as good as new again.
It is always advised to ask your dentist or a dental cosmetic specialist what treatment will work best for you. No matter what your cosmetic dental issues are, Viet Han Dental provides a variety of procedures that are suitable for rectifying any defects and irregularities with your teeth!
