Porcelain Veneers vs. Dental Crowns
Porcelain veneers and dental crowns are both effective cosmetic dentistry solutions offered at Cumberland Dental, yet they serve different purposes and are suited to varying needs.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells designed to cover only the front surface of a tooth, ideal for correcting cosmetic imperfections like stains, chips, or gaps. They require minimal tooth structure to be removed and are best for patients looking to enhance the aesthetics of their smile without extensive dental work.
Dental crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended for teeth that have been significantly damaged or decayed, following root canal therapy, or to cover dental implants. They provide a solution for both cosmetic improvement and functional restoration, making them suitable for more severe dental issues.
Choosing between porcelain veneers and dental crowns depends on the extent of tooth damage and the desired outcome, emphasising the importance of a personalised consultation with your dental professional.
Pros & cons of porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers offer a transformative solution for those seeking to enhance their smile, presenting a blend of aesthetic appeal and durability.
Among the pros, porcelain veneers are highly praised for their ability to mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel, providing a realistic and visually appealing result. They are also resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and smoking, ensuring your smile stays brighter for longer. Additionally, veneers require minimal removal of the tooth’s surface compared to other restorative procedures, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
However, there are some considerations to bear in mind. The process of applying porcelain veneers is irreversible, as a small amount of tooth enamel must be removed to accommodate the veneer. They can also be more costly than other cosmetic treatments, reflecting the custom craftsmanship and materials used. Lastly, while durable, veneers are not indestructible and can chip or break if subjected to excessive force or misuse, necessitating careful handling and potential replacement.

What Our Patients Say About Us
Adelaide Dental Veneers FAQs
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin.
How long do dental veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers have a shorter lifespan, typically 5 to 7 years, with proper care and maintenance.
Are dental veneers permanent?
Yes, the process of applying veneers is considered permanent because a small amount of tooth enamel is removed to accommodate the veneer. This means the procedure cannot be reversed.
Do dental veneers require special care?
Veneers do not require special care beyond good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. However, it’s recommended to avoid using your veneers as tools or chewing on hard objects to prevent damage.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of slightly crooked or misaligned teeth by covering them with a perfectly shaped veneer. However, they are not a substitute for orthodontic treatment in cases of severe misalignment.
