Due to an accident, I broke the bottom part of my front two teeth, so I have veneers on 8 & 9. These veneers are in the process of being redone. My dentist said there is plenty of tooth structure to do veneers again in the future too ( not for 15+ yrs) and at worst case I would have to transition to 3/4 porc crowns and then if they needed to be done again after that (15 yrs later) might have to go to all porc crowns. He said that a 3/4 is not too different from a veneer because they both wrap.
Your dentist is on the right track in explaining to you the different treatment options based on your specific needs. Most of the time, he or she will recommend what is best for the tooth in terms of strength and longevity.
There is not much difference between a porcelain veneer and a 3/4 crown, The first one covers the front part of the tooth and often does not wrap around to the back or through the contacts between your teeth, The 3/4 porcelain veneer will wrap around to the back of the tooth. All porcelain crowns will cover the entire tooth.
I like the dentist approach to explain to you all the options for a great smile!
