How To Know Which Type Of Dental Restoration Is Right For You

FORT WAYNE, United States - January 28, 2021 / Legacy Dental /

There are multiple types of cosmetic restorations that fit the various needs of different patients. Each serves a specific purpose – comparing dental implants to veneers and crowns isn’t accurate, since both are employed in different dental cases. Our dentist in Fort Wayne, IN, explains more here about dental implants, veneers, and crowns.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are used as a replacement for a tooth root after a tooth is lost or extracted. They are essentially screws that are placed into the bone of the jaw which allow for a crown to be screwed or cemented on top. Dental implants are used to replace entire missing teeth without the need for a bridge, or supporting tooth, on either side. They function exactly like your regular teeth, give your bite stability, and can restore facial structure that may have been lost.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers differ from dental implants in that they do not replace an entire tooth. Veneers are small porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are a conservative restoration that corrects the surface of the tooth when it has fractured, chipped, discolored, or out of alignment. Veneers are a great option:

  • To fix chips or cracks in teeth
  • To adjust or even out tooth color
  • To improve overall smile
  • To improve alignment of teeth

 

Veneers are resilient and stain-resistant and can last for years with proper care.

When Are Crowns Used?

Crowns are restorations that cover your entire tooth and match your natural teeth. They are used when the damage or decay is too extensive for veneers or fillings to be effective. Crowns are also used to improve the alignment of the teeth or to complete your smile if you don’t opt for (or are not a candidate for) dental implants.
