Cosmetic Crowns and Veneers

Crowns

A crown is a dental restoration that covers or “caps” a tooth to restore it to its normal shape, size and function.

A crown can help strengthen a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining to hold the filling. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It’s also used to cover a dental implant.

If Dr. Nguyen or Dr. Tran recommends a crown, it is probably to correct one of these conditions. Their primary concern, like yours, is helping you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright.

Veneers

Veneers are a common treatment that helps correct broken or chipped teeth, hide gaps or cover permanently stained teeth. Other benefits of veneers include durability, an improved smile appearance, and the need for little-to-no removal of tooth structure compared to crowns.

Veneers are custom made and cover the front side of your teeth ensuring your veneers will naturally fit your mouth and smile. Properly done veneers help you look better, which can create greater self-confidence.
