Crowns and Veneers
At Enhanced Dental Care Center, we specialize in providing high-quality crowns and veneers to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
How do I know if I need a crown or a veneer for my teeth?
Determining whether you need a crown or a veneer depends on the condition of your tooth and your goals. If your tooth is mostly intact and you’re seeking to correct cosmetic imperfections, a veneer might be the best option.Â
On the other hand, if your tooth has extensive damage or decay, or has undergone a root canal, a crown is likely the better choice as it provides full coverage and structural support.Â
A consultation at Enhance Dental Center can help pinpoint the best solution tailored to your needs.
Are crowns and veneers permanent, or will they need to be replaced?
While crowns and veneers are long-lasting, they are not permanent and may need replacement after several years. With proper care, they can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, sometimes even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene play a significant role in maximizing their lifespan.
How long do dental crowns and veneers typically last?
With excellent care, crowns and veneers can last 10 to 20 years or more. Factors like biting habits, oral hygiene, and regular dental visits influence their longevity. Avoiding habits like grinding your teeth or biting hard objects can also help preserve them.
What are the benefits and risks of getting crowns or veneers?

What are the steps involved in getting a dental crown or veneer?
The process begins with a consultation where we assess your dental health and discuss your goals. For both crowns and veneers, the tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the restoration.
Impressions or digital scans are taken, and a temporary crown or veneer may be placed while your custom restoration is crafted in a lab.Â
Once it’s ready, we’ll bond the crown or veneer securely to your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and appearance.
Can veneers or crowns match the exact color of my natural teeth?
Yes, absolutely! At Enhance Dental Center, we use advanced technology and materials to ensure your crown or veneer matches the exact shade of your natural teeth. Our goal is to create restorations that are seamless and natural-looking, so you can smile confidently.
