Are porcelain dental crowns the same as porcelain veneers?
No. Porcelain dental crowns are used to help strengthen and protect a tooth that is damaged or decayed. The dental crowns cap the entire tooth to allow individuals full function of the tooth. Porcelain veneers are used on otherwise healthy teeth that have aesthetic concerns. Porcelain veneers cover the front of teeth that might be: • Discoloured • Crooked • Chipped • Cracked • Broken While porcelain dental crowns are usually essential to a client’s dental health, porcelain veneers help to provide clients with a more beautiful smile. If you have additional questions about dental crowns and live in the Toronto, Canada area, please contact general cosmetic dentist Dr. Dan Haas today for a dental crown evaluation.
