WHICH TYPE OF DENTAL CROWN SUITS YOU BEST?

🤔 Thinking about getting dental crown to enhance your smile but feeling unsure among so many options - veneers, inlays, onlays, overlays, crowns…? Which one truly fits your case? 

✅ To help you make an informed choice, Dr. Bui Xuan Dat, Specialist Level I in Odonto-Stomatology, shares expert insights on the differences between dental restorations, as well as key criteria for selecting the right material and technique based on your condition. 

1️⃣ Criteria for choosing the right porcelain restoration 

Everyone’s teeth are different. Choosing the right restoration ensures both aesthetics and long-term durability. 

🔸 For intact teeth that only need cosmetic enhancement (e.g., discolored, spaced, or gapped teeth): 

👉 Veneer: an ultra-thin porcelain layer bonded to the front surface of the tooth. 

🔸 For partially damaged teeth (due to decay or wear): 

👉 Inlay, Onlay, Overlay: porcelain restorations that fill in the missing part of the tooth. 

🔸 For severely broken teeth or those that have undergone root canal treatment: 

👉 Dental crown: a full-coverage porcelain cap that restores the entire tooth.
