Concierge Smile Boutique strives to be your premier choice when you’re looking for a dentist in or around Culver City, CA. We’re proud to offer a wide array of cosmetic dentistry treatments that are geared toward making your smile look its best. Among the many procedures that we offer at our Culver City office are dental crowns and veneers. Allow us to give you a brief rundown as to how each of these two efficient procedures can be utilized to improve your smile.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ that are placed over and entirely covers a damaged tooth. It’s used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of the tooth. Whether a tooth has been damaged from trauma, broken down due to decay, or just worn down over time from grinding habits or age, a crown will be able to reestablish the natural form and function of the tooth. When placing a crown over a tooth though, a large part of the natural tooth’s structure will have to be removed in order to fit the crown over it. The crown will be perfectly shaped and colored to best match the rest of your teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are thin layers of material that are placed over a tooth to either improve the tooth’s aesthetics or protect the tooth’s surface from damage. As opposed to crowns, placing a veneer doesn’t require removing much of the tooth’s natural structure. This is because a veneer doesn’t encapsulate a tooth’s entire structure in the same way a crown does; a veneer is only placed on the front of the tooth. Veneers are a fantastic option for those with structurally healthy teeth, but with some minor imperfections on the fronts of the teeth. This can include poor shape, discoloring, or small fractures. Veneers can also be utilized to fix minor orthodontic issues, such as tooth positioning and the alignment of the bite.
