Porcelain veneers remove less enamel from the teeth and are preferrable when you are covering discolorations and small imperfections in the teeth.

Yes they do and they are "caps" (crowns are for the molars.) I just spent $12,000 on my teeth and had the front ones capped as well as the bottom front and the rest bonded.

It's best to consult with a dentist to determine the most suitable treatment for your specific situation.

Crowns and caps are often used interchangeably in dentistry, but they can have slightly different connotations. A crown is a type of dental restoration that completely encases a tooth or implant to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
