Thinking about improving your smile but not sure whether to go with veneers or crowns? Don’t worry – we’ve got your back! Veneers are thin shells that bond to the front of your teeth and are perfect for correcting chips, stains, or slight misalignments. Crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire tooth and are often used when there is more damage or decay. Both can dramatically enhance your smile, but the best option depends on your needs.
