Crowns and veneers are often recommended when teeth are very badly damaged due to wear, decay or excessive grinding or the patient has been unhappy with the aesthetics of their smile.
Crowns replace the top of the tooth, the part which you can see. While veneers replace the outward facing surface of your tooth to improve their appearance and shape.
Our dentists will discuss which options might be suitable for you. As with everything, there are pros and cons to both types of restorations and it’s not one size fits all, some people just may not be suitable for the option they came in wanting. Dr Kate and her team are often able to provide more conservative options avoiding the need for crowns or veneers, which will save your tooth structure and your bank balance!
Sometimes, less is better when it comes to making the most appropriate treatment plans for our patients.
