When a tooth is damaged or its appearance has changed, patients often wonder whether they need a crown or a veneer. Both can improve its appearance, but they start from different situations. Which is suitable depends on the condition of the tooth and is assessed at an examination.<\/p>\n
A veneer covers the front surface of the tooth and is most often used for cosmetic changes to an otherwise healthy tooth, with less tissue preparation.<\/p>\n
A crown covers the tooth on all sides and is often considered when a tooth is more significantly damaged, weakened or has had more extensive treatment. It gives the remaining tissue more protection.<\/p>\n
If the tooth is largely healthy and it is the colour or shape that bothers you, a veneer may be enough and preserves more tissue.<\/p>\n
With more extensive damage, large fillings or a weakened tooth, a crown often gives a longer-lasting, more protective result.<\/p>\n
At the consultation we assess how much healthy tissue remains, the biting load and your wishes, and together we decide on the best way forward.<\/p>\n

Generally yes, but the choice depends on the condition of the tooth and is assessed individually.<\/p>\n
A crown gives a weakened tooth more protection, but durability depends on your individual condition.<\/p>\n
Not always; sometimes the condition of the tooth guides the decision.<\/p>\n
