Question:

In dental terms, what is the difference between a veneer and a crown?


Answers:

You can think of a veneer as a partial crown. Ofcourse that is not the exact definition. A crown is when the whole tooth surface is replaced or covered by a restorative material. A veneer is when part of the surface only is covered usualyy the labial surface though on a certain cases the palatal surfaces might be covered e.g acid reflux and the subsequent loss of palatal enamel layer(erosion).
