Does getting veneers hurt?
Getting porcelain veneers doesn’t hurt. Dr. Chohan only removes a very thin, surface layer of enamel to fit the veneers, and you’ll be numb while she does it.
Are veneers different from crowns?
While porcelain veneers and dental crowns can both be used to improve the appearance of your teeth, they’re not the same. Porcelain veneers are only about 1mm thick and cover the front of your teeth. Dental crowns are about 2mm thick and cover the whole tooth to the gumline.
Porcelain veneers are less invasive than dental crowns because only a tiny bit of enamel has to be removed. If a tooth has a large filling, decay or damage it may not be able to support a veneer, which is why veneers are usually only used on healthy teeth with cosmetic imperfections. A dental crown, on the other hand, can be used to restore teeth that are missing a lot of structure.
