Old crowns, also known as dental crowns or caps, can deteriorate over time due to wear and tear, decay, or changes in the underlying tooth structure. When crowns become worn or discolored, they can detract from the overall appearance of the smile and even lead to functional issues such as difficulty chewing or discomfort. Additionally, old crowns may no longer fit properly, allowing bacteria to accumulate underneath and potentially causing further dental problems.
Veneers offer an excellent solution for enhancing the appearance of old crowns. By placing veneers over the existing crowns, a dentist can improve the color, shape, and overall aesthetics of the smile. Porcelain veneers, in particular, mimic the natural appearance of teeth, providing a seamless and lifelike result. With veneers, patients can rejuvenate their smile and regain confidence in their appearance.
