Crowns cover the entire tooth for strength and protection. Veneers are thin shells used to improve the appearance of the front surface. Crowns require more tooth preparation than veneers. Veneers preserve more natural tooth structure. Crowns are stronger and more suitable for back teeth. Veneers are mainly used for front teeth. Veneers often cost less than crowns. Both require good oral hygiene for a long lifespan. Crowns usually last 10-15 years, veneers 5-10 years. Your dentist will advise which option best suits your situation.
