How many appointments are involved with dentures?
It depends on whether or not you need to have existing teeth extracted, but there will be at least three appointments. Your dentist will want to make sure you get a precise fit. He will, also, want to check after you have worn your dentures and answer any questions you might have at that time. What is the difference between a crown and a veneer? Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of the tooth. A small amount of tooth enamel must be removed to accommodate the shell. Veneers are mainly used for cosmetic purposes. A crown covers the entire tooth surface to the gumline & is custom-crafted usually using a metal base with a porcelain coating fused to the base. Crowns can also be crafted from all porcelain for aesthetic reasons. A crown makes the tooth stronger and improves its appearance. Crowns are used to cover dental implants. Because of their thickness more tooth enamel must be removed in the preparation process.
