CROWNS VS VENEERS - Which is best?

Dr. Olson from Innovative Dental explains the difference between crowns and veneers. Crowns or caps are typically used to restore teeth that are badly worn, decayed, or have been treated with a root canal. Crowns help to hold the tooth together and restore the esthetics and function. Veneers are typically used to cosmetically change the shape and shade of teeth. They can in some instances remove minimal amounts of decay.

It’s hard to find genuine dentist who tells someone why this is better...thank you for helping people understand and being a good person and have true passion for what you do.

👸💭"I would actually go here because I think this dentist is honest and knowledgeable".

It's nice to see that Tommy from power left the game behind and finally found his true calling in life, dentistry 👏🏼

[popsx]

I wish more dentists were honest like this guy and actually advised you on what’s best not just what’s best for them $$$.

I had to switch dentists because my last took xrays and never told me I had an abscess... few months later I’m in excruciating pain and needed an emergency appointment so I found any dentist who was available and he was shocked to see the old xrays and explained that I had an abscess from back then. Now I question everything my dentists says.

Wow, I’m just seeing this and it was four years ago? This man was ahead of the game. Love the explanations and time taken to record and inform us! Thanks!

I had a root canal and just had my permanent crown put on today. It feels weird but I suppose I have to get used to it. I appreciate the amount of detail and professionalism you all put into your work. Unfortunately I couldn’t save more of my natural tooth because the decay went underneath my filling in that molar. Cavities are vicious.

One of the best videos I’ve seen on veneers so far.

Dr. Olson thank you for sharing this technology. I am a dental assistant student and we are practicing taking impressions and pouring models. It is very time consuming and can be hard for patients. I can’t wait to show my classmates this video. Please keep sharing and explaining procedures it helps so much. I hope this becomes common practice soon.

Incredibly informative video. My dentist said veneers are obsolete and no more done. Though now I know she was just trying to convince me to get crowns cuz they would earn her more money lol.

[charismagalerapardillo]

Wow! Im impressed with how advanced your dentistry back there... How I wish we will benefit the same tech you are using. AMAZING!!! For someone like me who experience trauma from past dental procedure, your video is helping me kick off those traumas and Im looking forward to a positive visit with a dentist again.

Thank you for this presentation. I thought that with veneers there was more tooth loss. Saving my money, I’ve been wanting vaneers for 20 years.

Hey Dr. O....I am a expanded functions dental assistant in Vermont. We have a very techy office as well...we do most of our crowns using the e.max cerec blocks with our sirona milling units. We have started making Zirconium crowns with another new do alot of implant crowns and have great success. We follow the same protocol as you...minimal preps, keeping as much natural tooth structure. Thanks for your videos for people to understand this process better....What a great idea.

Every dentist tells you how beautiful your smile can be with veneers. But they dont wear them themselves . Why.

[turtsw]

But how do you clean your teeth with Veneers? The tooth structure under the veneer is compromised no?

[TruthSurge]

Do the veneers leave ridges on the edges or does the dentist sand those flush with the real tooth and do they go under the gums enough so you don't have a ridge there?

[tlembro]

In our office we only do veneers on front teeth, If there is too much missing structure or a posterior tooth then a crown is the better choice. Veneers are a life changing choice for adults when front teeth are discolored, or slightly out of alignment. Thanks for the informative content

[bombasticbushkin]

Excellent Dr. Olson. Clear explanations and demonstrations that help educate us to be better equipped making certain decisions and know what's going on.

[kithekaemmanuel]

I found it quite interesting and that i have hope for my teeth.

[Piks_LDN]

Not having to wait a couple of weeks for a lab to build your Veneers is a game changer !

[clutchitup]

Thank God I listen to my grandpa and looked after my teeth through my life !
