Veneers are very thin pieces of very strong porcelain that are bonded permanently to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are great for restoring teeth that are discolored, spaced apart, misshapen and arranged crooked. Crowns, on the other hand, completely cover the tooth on all sides and are used in situations where a greater amount of the tooth has been damaged and strength is required.
