my boyfriend wants to get his teeth fixed (all of them) and his family and i were discussing which is better. financially, and appearance. he's afraid if he gets veneers that his teeth will look like horse teeth like hillary duff. which is better to get. keep in mind that he's having his whole mouth done.
What is better, caps or veneers?
it depends on what kind of shape his teeth are in. crowns (caps) are better for protecting teeth so if he has alot of fillings or weak enamel, crowns are going to be better. veneers are generally used just to change the appearance of teeth. they are kind of like press on finger nails, they just cover the front where as a crown covers the whole tooth. veneers are generally a little more expensive but not by much. my suggestion would be to see a dentist for a consultation. it may work best to crown some and put veneers on some. a good cosmetic dentist should be able to make them look natural no matter what u decide to go with. hope this helps
Reply:well, depending on what shape your boyfriend's mouth is in (i.e. past fillings and current needs) they may do a combo. veneers are not for molars, crowns would be best for those. if he is a smoker, he should stop because it can cause the gum tissue to recede (shrink and show the root surface). i've seen patients that had veneers placed and smoked and they had to have them redone just for the fact that the gums had receded and they looked terrible.
he needs to listen and discuss with his dentist what would be best for him!
Reply:sounds expensive. i suggest snap on smile. it only cost a grand. and you get to pick the shape and color of the teeth
Reply:veneers dont look like horse teeth if they are done right. i make them for a living. if his teeth are healthy than definately go with veneers.
