Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
-
Veneers and porcelain crowns are both used to improve the appearance of teeth, but they work differently. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front surface of a tooth, while porcelain crowns fully cover and encase the tooth, offering greater strength and protection.
At The Smile Zone, we specialise in porcelain crowns rather than veneers. For many patients, porcelain crowns offer a more durable, long-term solution — particularly for teeth that are cracked, weakened, or have existing structural damage, since they protect the whole tooth rather than just the front surface.
