I have two veneers on my two front teeth. I need the veneers replaced. My dentist wants to crown one of my teeth as I had a root canal a few years back. The other tooth is perfectly healthy but needs a new veneer. My dentist also wants to do a crown on this tooth as he says it will be easier for the dental lab to match two crowns than match a crown and a veneer. These are my two very front top teeth. Does this sound right?
Answer: Crown and veneer To answer this we would need to see photos and xrays of the tooth. Generally speaking a crown and veneer are both made of the same material. The only difference is that the crown wraps entirely around the tooth and the veneer only covers the front and possibly extends slightly to the back. If there is enough tooth structure left, a veneer is fine for the root canaled tooth. If there was decay or tooth structure had to be removed to access the root canal then a crown is indicated. The same goes for the adjacent tooth. If there is decay or if there old bondings that need to be replaced a crown is indicated. If not a veneer is fine. Also the lab and your dentist will take into consideration your bite. If you've worn a lot of tooth structure or your bite needs more stability, crowns are indicated. Combining crowns and veneers is not uncommon. For aesthetic purposes don't worry too much if it a crown or veneer. They can be made to match perfectly and look great. Let the dentist and lab figure out what works best functionally for your smile. Best of luck and follow us for more information!

Answer: Porcelain Crown Or Veneer For Root Canal Treated Front Tooth?
This is difficult to say for sure without pictures, but typically we could do a crown and veneer and make them match perfectly. We always want to be as conservative as possible without sacrificing aesthetics. Hope this helps.

Answer: Crown and veneers for two front teeth If you were my patient, I would do the crown and the veneer almost without fail. Recent improvements in materials give us to the ability to do this procedure: 1. Without a need for metal substructure, and; 2. And very closely match a ceramic/porcelain crown with a porcelain veneer.

Answer: Porcelain Veneers: What's the best option? Crowns or Veneers? To fully and appropriately assess your best option, I would have to make a full exam of your particular circumstance. Your dentist has very likely made the appropriate suggestion, but a porcelain veneer can definitely be matched with an adjacent crown (depending on the skill and experience of you cosmetic specialist).It can't hurt to get a second opinion.Best of luck.

Answer: Dental Crowns or Veneers for Two Front Teeth? So the question is do I do dental veneers or crowns on my two front teeth to repair them. That certainly depends on the severity of any fractures or if the tooth has had a root canal.If the toot has had a root canal the more indicated treatment would be a full porcelain crown. That just goes all the way around…the material is the same and will look just as lifelike and just as beautiful as these days we don’t have to do those crowns with metals or any of the darkness therefore it depends on what it is that is needed by the tooth and that needs to be evaluated by your dentist.
