Why are crowns sometimes recommended instead of veneers?
The reason a cosmetic dentist might recommend a crown instead of porcelain veneers is that when a crown is placed, more tooth structure is removed because more of the tooth is covered with a crown than with a veneer. Crowns are usually used in cases where there is a large amount of tooth structure lost, or to replace missing teeth, when veneers can’t be used. Also, crowns will work on dental implants as well as on your natural teeth.
