Millions of people every year seek dental solutions to remedy stained, cracked, or chipped teeth. Fortunately, there are multiple methods you can select from that address these issues, such as porcelain veneers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claybrookedental.com\/dental-crowns.html\">dental crowns<\/a>. But how do you choose the best treatment for you? Keep reading to learn about each option so you can make a well-informed decision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are thin covers made of a resilient ceramic material that are attached to the front surface of your teeth to mask imperfections. They\u2019re customized to match the shade of your natural pearly whites and are coated with a glaze durable enough to resist future destruction and discoloration. Because of this, they also serve as a shield to prevent your vulnerable tooth from sustaining any further injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Are Porcelain Veneers Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and are an ideal solution if you intend to enhance your appearance. It\u2019s normal to feel self-conscious about small gaps in your grin or slightly crooked or damaged teeth. Placing a veneer over it can improve the way you look without costly, invasive procedures or orthodontic therapy. To apply one, your dentist will remove a layer of enamel no thicker than a contact lens from your tooth so that once it\u2019s placed, it\u2019ll line up with your natural teeth for a perfectly seamless smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps often made of porcelain, gold, or composite resin. They cover your tooth entirely, whereas veneers only apply to the front surface, meaning that more of your tooth must be shaved away for one to fit properly. These covers can also be customized so that no one would know your real tooth from your prosthetic one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Are Dental Crowns Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though they can be used to elevate your looks, dental crowns are intended to be a practical solution to protect and rebuild wounded teeth. They return functionality if you have required a large filling, a root canal, or are extremely worn down or cracked. Because dental crowns are considered a restorative rather than a cosmetic treatment, insurance plans are more likely to cover a portion of the expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Option Is Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only your dentist can provide a recommendation based on your unique circumstances, but there are other factors to consider, too. The right solution depends on your dental condition, budget, and even which tooth you\u2019re addressing. For example, if you have a chipped molar, you\u2019ll probably need a dental crown because a veneer is too thin to withstand the force of chewing in the back of your mouth. If your front tooth is cracked, however, a veneer may be best because it\u2019s a simple cosmetic fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, it won\u2019t be long before you have the flawless smile you deserve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Claybrooke Dental of Gahanna, you and your family benefit from two dental experts who provide a full range of services all under one roof, including dental crowns and veneers.
