Veneers can correct some different minor imperfections, including:
•
Small chips and cracks that only affect the enamel.
•
Minor alignment issues that do not affect your oral health. These include spaces between your teeth as well as slight overlapping.
•
Teeth that are unusually shaped or sized.
•
Discoloration that cannot be whitened.
The placement of veneers and crowns is fairly similar. Both procedures are performed under a local anesthetic. With veneers, only a small amount of enamel needs to be removed from the front surface of the affected teeth.
