How to restore a damaged tooth? With a veneer or a crown? How to determine this?
The most important aspect of any treatment is the presence of indications. The dentist examines the patient, reviews their X-rays, and may recommend additional diagnostic methods.
A ceramic veneer is a microprosthesis that restores lost tooth tissues in cases where restoration and large fillings are not appropriate.
Cases where a veneer is recommended:
- 25% to 60% of the tooth’s hard tissues are lost.
- Replacement of a large filling is needed.
- The coronal portion of the tooth is damaged due to mechanical trauma.
- Enamel wear.
The veneer covers the tooth partially and is custom-made in a laboratory based on the patient’s tooth impression. It prevents shrinkage and does not deform the dental arch.
A crown is a construction that covers the entire tooth like a cap. Cases where a crown is recommended:
- More than 60% of the tooth’s hard tissues are lost.
- The coronal portion of the tooth is fractured due to trauma.
- Pathological wear of teeth.
- A tooth is depulped and restored with a large filling.
The crown is also custom-made in a laboratory based on the patient’s tooth impression.
