Can Veneers Wrap 360 Degrees Around a Tooth?

This question is basically a question of dental vocabulary. The term dental veneer or laminate refers to the front facing of a tooth with a thin piece of custom fabricated material typically ceramic or composite.
When the preparation of the tooth requires the dentist to include 360 degrees of the tooth, the restoration is referred to as a crown. In either case the restoration of the teeth can be beautiful and functional.

This is a good question actually. People always ask me when we are doing smile consultations "which will be crowns" and "which will be veneers". Technically, a veneer covers the front surfaces of the tooth. When the porcelain wraps 360 degrees around a tooth it, technically, is a crown. I always tell people that they're all just "porcelain restorations" because it's almost impossible (in our practice) to tell a crown vs. veneer because essentially they're made from the same material (but in the instance of a crown.....just more of it).
