A veneer is just a thin layer on the top of your natural tooth, which means that you keep the actual tooth underneath. An implant is an entirely new tooth and tooth root. It is a brilliant tooth replacement option if you are missing teeth or if a tooth is so badly damaged it cannot be salvaged.
We do not recommend replacing a good tooth with an implant. We only use implants to replace missing teeth or teeth so badly damaged that veneers will not provide an adequate solution.
