What are Crown Veneers

Crown veneers are a type of dental restoration that use a thin sheet of porcelain to cover the front teeth. They're a popular option for people who want a more natural-looking smile, and they can be done in a variety of colors and shapes. Crowns veneers are also a great way to fix a tooth that's been damaged or missing.

If you're interested in crown veneers, here are some things to know:

1. Crown veneers are a treatment option for tooth decay and other dental issues.

2. Crown veneers are custom-made and require an appointment with a dentist.

3. Crown veneers are removable, but you can usually keep them for as long as you like.

4. Crown veneers are a restoration option that can last up to 20 years.

5. Crown veneers look great on people of all ages, and they're a popular choice for patients who are nervous about their smile changing over time.

6. You'll pay more for crown veneers than other types of dental restorations, but the price varies by dentist and the complexity of your restoration needs.

7. People may recommend that you get new crown veneers if you have TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain, but this is not required for restorations. Crowns often require that TMJ be treated before the veneers are cemented onto your teeth.

8. Crown veneers can last for years with proper care and routine dental visits.

9. If you've got a crown chipped or broken, it's best to visit a dentist as soon as possible to repair the tooth or replace the restoration with a new one.

10. It's important to take good care of your teeth with routine dentist visits and good oral hygiene habits so your restorations will last as long as possible without breaking down .



All About NHS v/s Private Dental Crows

You may have considered the option of having NHS or private dental crowns fixed by your dentist but have questioned if there is really any difference? Firstly private dental crowns will cost roughly £450 whereas dental crown in NHS will usually cost under £100. There are many reasons for this price difference.

NHS dental crowns have an internal metal core to give it strength and an exterior porcelain wrapping to make it look somewhat like a tooth. There is a short-range of shade available for making NHS crowns and they tend to only be made in a single shade whereas natural teeth have a whole variety of shades ranging from whites to yellows to blues and ambers.

Due to the metal core of the crown, you can sometimes get a grey discoloration along your gum line also light cannot pass through the crown properly and so they can look a bit dull. Private crowns have a metal-free, white inner core made from zirconia with porcelain wrapped over this.

Zirconia is an extremely hard material and gives the crown strength whilst still allowing the dental crown to transmit and reflect light and so look more natural. It is possible to have cosmetic crowns made to a bespoke shade so that they will match in perfectly with your other teeth.
