Can I Get a Crown with a Veneer?

If you look at old text books, (or some retirement home tenants) you will find gold crowns that have a tooth colored material on the side of the crown that would be visible. This could be considered a crown with a veneer.
With modern technology, one gets either a crown or a veneer, depending on the situation.

Crowns and Veneers can be done side by side without being able to  tell the difference.  Ideally this should be done using the same porcelain material  such as emax or Empress for both.

Hi Shawn,

If you have a veneer we can take out the veneer and place a crown.

Thank you,

I always evaluate the tooth before I come to a conclusion about what it needs. If a tooth needs protection I would do a crown for it, but if it is structurally sound, I would forego removing tooth unnecessarily and plan on doing a veneer. A good cosmetic dentist can make a crown or a veneer match an adjacent tooth or make a crown match an adjacent veneer.
I am quite conservative when it comes to removing tooth so I would always do what is best for the tooth. Some not do veneers because they prefer crowns. Whatever you do, I think you should save tooth structure and get a veneer if the tooth doesn't need a crown.

It looks like you want to put a crown on a veneer. It is absolutely impossible. The margins of the crown should lay down on a natural tooth, so it is better to remove the old veneer and then get a crown. If you want to get a crown on a tooth and get the veneer on adjacent tooth, it is possible.
