This material among dental crowns is now a popular choice. Here are some advantages.

What is the difference between Crowns and Veneers?
Crowns and Veneers are a great option for dental restoration. They both improve the aesthetic appeal and function of your whole mouth. The difference between these two is that a Crown covers the entire tooth, while veneers only cover the front.
A dentist will guide you on your needs before starting any treatments and give you the best options that suit your specific needs.
Crowns
Crowns cover the tooth that needs to be restored or, in some cases, a dental implant.
Dental Crowns restore and help improve the appearance of shapes or discolored teeth. They also protect and add stability to any teeth after procedures such as implant or root canal.
Dental crowns are great at looking as natural as your teeth. The dentists match the color and the correct shape to fit on the prepared teeth.
Crowns require any tooth to be prepared before putting them on. The teeth or tooth, need filing down to make room for the crown to fit in place.
Your dentist first makes an impression of the tooth that has already been trimmed down to later send the impression to the laboratory.
When your crowns are ready, that is when the dentists schedule your second visit to replace the temporary crown with the real one.
Veneers
Veneers are very similar to dental crowns. They also restore and better the aesthetic of your smile. They are thin coverings adhered to the front surface of any teeth (usually the front teeth). Dental veneers have the great advantage of providing a brighter smile that looks and feels like natural teeth.
A veneer is recommended if the front of your teeth is chipped, broken, discolored, or smaller than the one surrounding it.
This treatment requires minimal preparation on your teeth.
The dentists start with trimming a half-millimeter from the surface of each tooth to make room for the veneer.
Afterward, an impression is taken, and the mold is sent to the laboratory to start working the veneers.
When the veneers are ready, 2 to 3 days depending on the specifications and number of veneers. Your second appointment is scheduled to start placing them. This whole process usually takes up to a week.
