Frequently asked questions
No, veneers and crowns are not the same thing. They are two different dental treatments with different purposes:
- Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material, typically porcelain or ceramic, that are applied to the front of the visible tooth surfaces. Their main purpose is to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth by hiding discoloration, stains, slight misalignments and irregularities.
- Crowns, also known as dental crowns, are artificial coverings that enclose the entire visible portion of a damaged, chipped or heavily restored tooth. Crowns are used to restore the function and strength of damaged teeth and provide protection against further damage.
Overall, veneers mainly serve aesthetic purposes, while crowns have both aesthetic and functional restorative purposes.
When veneers need to be replaced due to wear or damage, the process is usually the same as when the veneers were originally placed, except that the old veneers are carefully removed first. This is usually done by grinding or lifting off the old veneers.
If a veneer breaks, it is important to contact your dentist immediately. Your dentist will take appropriate measures to repair or replace the broken veneer. Depending on the type and extent of the breakage, this may mean that the veneer is remade and reapplied to the tooth.
The natural teeth provide a stable foundation for the veneers and normally remain healthy and functional.
Although veneers are long-lasting and durable, there is always a certain risk that they may break or peel off. Possible reasons could be:
- Trauma or injury: Severe trauma or injury to the mouth can cause veneers to become damaged or break off.
- Inadequate dental care: Inadequate dental care and improper use of the teeth, such as opening objects with the teeth, can affect the durability of veneers.
- Misaligned teeth: Severe misalignment of teeth or an uneven bite can result in uneven pressure on the veneers, which can increase the risk of breakage.
In patients who grind their teeth a lot, in very young patients, when there is extremely little space, when there is only a small layer of enamel left on the tooth, in very discolored teeth.
