What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth and is used primarily for cosmetic improvement. A crown covers the entire tooth and provides structural support as well as cosmetic improvement. Veneers are ideal for healthy teeth that need cosmetic enhancement; crowns are needed when the tooth requires strengthening or has significant damage.
