i have class 3 cavities on both sides of my upper middle teeth, got them filled recently (fillings are mostly on the back of the tooth), i wanted to do veneers but my dentist recommends crowns I am 26 years old and think that i am still young to get my teeth crowned. Can i get veneers now and maybe crowns in the future IF it becomes necessary?

Answer: Veneers Now and Crowns Later Hi Adam...I think you have answered your own question already. You are 26 years old and want veneers and later on, if needed, you will replace the veneers with the crowns. I think this choice is a good one. A crown takes more of the tooth down and covers the whole tooth. Veneers only cover the front. You are more inclined to be happier with the veneers. Take care of your veneers and your oral health and they will last a long time! If this go South later, you can always have crowns placed. I would suggest, if your dentist does not want to do veneers, maybe you should get a second opinion. Also he may not be that convertible placing veneers. Look at the cases he has done before and see if he is experienced enough to do your veneers. Make sure you have a good, cosmetic dentist do this procedure!

Answer: Can I get Veneers over teeth that got composite fillings? Veneers work best on healthy solid teeth with no previous dental work. If you have a small filling/bonding that is only on the front, or back surface of your tooth veneer may still be an option, but when your fillings wrap around your teeth crowns are the best option. Crown will actually make your tooth stronger and allow you to eat without fear of veneers popping off, crowns will also reduce chances of cavities sneaking inbetween your fillings and veneers.
