What is difference between CAPS and VENNERS?!


Question:

What is difference between CAPS and VENNERS?


Answers:

A cap (or crown) covers the tooth, much like a baseball cap covers your head. Usually it is put over the tooth because it has had a root canal, has a large filling or has broken. A veneer is just a facing that is put over a tooth, much like have sculptured fingernails (fake fingernails) are put over your real fingernail. In both cases the tooth must be prepared which involves using a dental drill to remove a small portion of the tooth so they fit properly and with either, they are cemented onto the tooth. Veneers go on the front teeth and once in place you must use care not to bite hard objects or open bags with your teeth because they can pop off. Hope this helps!
