Making Sense of Crowns Versus Veneers and Why They Are Used

Dr. Kevin Hogan • July 18, 2017

What You Need to Know About Porcelain Veneers

Whereas dental crowns can help rebuild teeth and strengthen their structures, a person who gets porcelain veneers  is likely taking that approach for reasons that are solely appearance related. Like crowns , veneers can change a tooth’s shape and color but they only cover part of it and are not strong enough to withstand a lot of force.

Porcelain veneers are bonded to the front side of teeth and dentists do not have to grind down the back portions at all. There are also some veneer application techniques that do not require grinding of the tooth. Veneers are also extremely thin compared to crowns.

If you think you are in need of veneers or crowns, contact our staff and make an appointment to see Dr. Kevin Hogan. He can assess your oral health and make trustworthy recommendations about how to maximize the functionality of your teeth while promoting a healthy smile.
