At Saline Dental, we use crowns and veneers to restore appearance and function to the smiles of Bryant residents. Either appliance can be made of porcelain or other materials and the color is matched to your existing teeth, so you may want to consider a teeth-whitening procedure before having this procedure done. An impression of your mouth—either traditional or the less-invasive digital—must also be made to ensure your crown or veneer fits perfectly.
Contact us online or call us at (501) 404-9424 to ask about our minimally invasive digital impression procedure before your next appointment.
How Do Crowns & Veneers Work?
Crowns are artificial teeth made of ceramic, porcelain, or metal alloy. As the name implies, a crown fits entirely over a decaying or broken tooth to protect it from further decay or to act as a restorative measure where an extraction and dental implant are unnecessary. Crowns are also the best option when a large filling or root canal was previously performed on the existing tooth.
Veneers are artificial teeth made of porcelain or a less durable porcelain-composite material. Veneers are mostly used to straighten or brighten the appearance of teeth rather than solve a critical issue with a patient’s smile. They are bonded only to the front surface of a tooth, making them less invasive than crowns but more reliant on the health of your natural teeth.
Some of the problems crowns and veneers can address include:
