Transform Your Smile with Cosmetic Porcelain Veneers and Crowns

At Clock House Dental, porcelain veneers and crowns are used to enhance your smile by:

• Restoring and protecting damaged teeth

• Aligning and reshaping teeth

• Closing gaps

• Improving the texture and color of your teeth

​

When to Choose Veneers vs. Crowns?

• Veneers are ideal when your tooth is strong and intact, focusing on improving appearance while preserving most of your natural tooth.

• Crowns are used when a tooth is weakened, such as after a large filling or root canal, providing full protection by covering the entire tooth.

​

Though both look natural and are often made from the same material, the key difference is that veneers cover only the visible part of the tooth, while crowns wrap around the entire tooth for extra strength.

​

Veneers: Pros and Cons

• Advantages:

  • Highly aesthetic, providing a natural-looking smile.

  • Preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

• Disadvantages:

  • Not as strong as crowns.

  • More prone to de-bonding since less surface area is bonded.

​

Crowns: Pros and Cons

• Advantages:

  • Also highly aesthetic, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

  • Stronger than veneers and protect the entire tooth.

  • Less likely to de-bond due to full coverage.

• Disadvantages:

  • Requires removing more of the natural tooth structure.

​

The ¾ Crown: A Hybrid Solution For those seeking a balance between strength and tooth conservation, we offer the ¾ crown, which combines the benefits of both crowns and veneers:

• Preserves more tooth structure than a full crown.

• Stronger than a veneer, covering more of the tooth.

• Offers high aesthetic appeal and durability.

​

Our experienced cosmetic dentists will discuss your options and tailor a treatment plan that may include a combination of veneers, crowns, and ¾ crowns to create your perfect smile makeover.
