Veneer or Crown for Chipped Teeth?

The other day, I fell and chipped my #7, 8, 9 teeth. There's no pain, just a little temperature sensitivity in one of them, and my initial x-ray shows no cracks in the root. I'm in my early 30's. Which restoration option would you recommend in my case, and why?

A: 3 Chipped Front Teeth = 4 Veneers

Hi Chipped, Good Question:

3 Veneers would certainly work to restore the teeth, but when placing porcelain on the front teeth I recommend a symmetrical approach from the center line.  In your case this means veneering teeth 7, 8, 9 and 10. 

You will not only get a better result immediately, but you can also expect it to look better than only 3 veneers as time passes. This is because the porcelain veneered teeth have much more shade stability than those without a veneer.  The tooth without a veneer will change shade over time and become more and more obvious to others.

Do Dental Veneers Look Fake?

Looking for the opposite: a smile that people think is real!

A: Good veneers look like really healthy natural teeth.

Veneers provided by a qualified and experienced dentist will look natural and healthy. 

It is possible that done incorrectly they look fake.  We have all seen those.

Take a look at the picture in the link.  The upper 6 are veneers, and the rest are natural.
