Overview
Veneers are essentially half of a crown. Just like a veneer may be placed on a countertop to make it more aesthetic, a dental veneer may be placed on the tooth to make it more aesthetic. However, a veneer is considered strictly cosmetic and some people may benefit more from a full-coverage crown. Composite veneers do wear down over time requiring maintenance that can end up costing more money in the long run. For this reason, Dr. Hedges may recommend a custom-made porcelain veneer to you. Porcelain veneers are a much more predictable treatment option than composite veneers (Bondings).
