Porcelain Veneers vs. Crowns (cont.)
 Stability of the Occlusion
 Occlusion simply refers to the contact between the mandibular and the maxillary
teeth. Veneers are usually fitted where the occlusion is fairly stable, for occlusion
that require significant modification ahead of the procedure, crowns will work
best.
 Teeth Significantly Malposition
 Clausal contact and stability can be better achieved with dental crowns. Rotten
teeth often have lingual surface in abnormal occlusion relationships. Veneers
work best where there is no need of repositioning the major teeth.
 Matching the Color of the Veneers and Crowns
 Porcelain veneers mimic the color of natural teeth but in most cases, it is possible
for people to notice the difference between your natural teeth and the teeth with
the veneers. They should be strongly considered during treatment planning. If
aesthetic requirements are high, best results will be achieved by placing crowns.
When treating just one tooth, it you will require crowns. Veneers will show the
difference in teeth color which is not a pleasant appearance.
