This answer really depends on the patient's individual needs
.
A dental veneer is a thin sliver of porcelain designed to fit over the front surface of a tooth and cover cosmetic flaws, such as:
- Space between teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Excessively worn teeth
- Teeth with size or shape discrepancies
- Stained or discolored teeth
If your tooth sustains more damage than veneers can cover, a dental crown may be more appropriate for your tooth. A dental crown covers a compromised tooth completely while still maintaining some of your natural tooth structure and protecting the integrity of your root.
