CROWNS OR VENEERS?
Choosing your path to a more confident smile.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VENEERS AND CROWNS
When considering crowns vs veneers, it’s important to consider how they differ. At around 2mm thick, dental crowns (sometimes called ‘caps’) envelope the entire tooth. They can be used to strengthen weak or decayed teeth and restore the natural shape or size of your teeth. A veneer, on the other hand, is a thin shell that fits over your tooth, much like a contact lens that fits over an eye.
CROWNS
A dental crown is ideal if the teeth are severely broken down. They can improve the look of your smile when there’s insufficient tooth structure to support a porcelain or composite veneer.
SIMPLE PROCEDURE
Just like porcelain veneers, custom-made dental crowns are a minimally invasive treatment. While being made, you will receive a temporary crown so that you can enjoy life as normal.
CUSTOM-MADE
The expert Dental + Skin team create custom-made crowns to match the size, shape and hue of your existing tooth so that the end result is natural and life-like.
DURABLE
With regular checkups and maintenance, dental crowns last upwards of 30 years and can withstand the trauma of biting, chewing and food grinding.
RESTORE YOUR SMILE
Along with repairing your teeth, enamel and structural damage, dental crowns can deliver a beautiful smile that you’re proud to show the world.
VENEERS
Veneers are strong and durable – making them a popular aesthetic dental treatment for smile makeovers. Veneers can transform an average smile into a straight, white, beautiful smile.
VENEERS CAN SOLVE MULTIPLE DENTAL ISSUES
Veneers improve more than just the position of your teeth – they can whiten your smile, remove gaps and even improve gummy smiles.
VENEERS ARE LONG-LASTING
With the right care and treatment, Dental + Skin Clinic veneers last from between 15 to 20 years – making them a practically permanent smile transformation solution.
VENEERS CAN IMPROVE YOUR SMILE QUICKLY
Dental veneers or crowns can be applied in just a few visits to Dental + Skin Clinic and will leave you with a new sense of smile freedom.
