How Is A Crown Different From A Veneer?
A crown is known for covering the entire tooth unlike a veneer which covers the front surface of a tooth only. A crown involves more shaping and prepping of the tooth structure. It often leads to strengthening, weakening or broken tooth. Crowns are extremely durable, aesthetic and are mostly used for the front and the back teeth in the mouth.
Indications for a Crown
- Grossly/badly decayed teeth with large fillings / root canal treated teeth
- Fractured teeth with little tooth structure left
- Faulty bite
- Worn down teeth
- Mobile teeth
- Missing tooth
- Over an implant
