Robert Whitfield MD explains why crowns and veneers aren't the same. A crown is a protective cap that requires removing tooth structure to fit porcelain over it, making it more invasive but better at protecting a damaged tooth's integrity.
And so for everybody, you know, can you distinguish, like, a crown, a veneer, like, what are the differences so that everybody listening can understand those differences?
Yeah, yeah. So a crown is going to be. A crown protects the structure, the structural integrity of the tooth. And so a crown is basically a hat that sits over the tooth that we've had to. We've had to make room for the porcelain. So it is more invasive, but it protects the structure of the tooth the best.
