Hello there,You can not replace a crown with a veneer.  However, you can replace your current crown with a crown that is more aesthetically pleasing.  Always look at before and after photos when selecting your dentist. They will give you an idea about what you can expect. I'll attach a link of a patient who's case was more complex than yours. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO area (O'Fallon, IL)Real Self 100

You cannot replace a crown with a veneer.  If you are having pain with the tooth I would have it evaluated by a root canal specialist  (endodontist).  It might need to have an extraction and implant or the bite could be high. Call your dentist soon.
