Cosmetic Treatment Comparisons
This page is for anyone weighing one cosmetic treatment against another. The section holds two comparisons: veneers against crowns, and porcelain against composite veneers. Each comparison page weighs factors such as cost, how much natural tooth is kept and repairability. Bonding, whitening and orthodontic comparisons sit in their own sections.

What do the cosmetic dentistry comparisons cover?
This section covers two head-to-head cosmetic choices: veneers against one alternative, crowns, and one veneer material against another. Both sit within cosmetic dentistry, the discipline concerned with improving how teeth look.
If you are unsure which treatment fits what you want to change, our guide to working out which option suits you looks across the treatments rather than one pair.
Which comparisons does this section hold?
This section holds two comparisons: veneers and crowns, and porcelain and composite veneers.
Veneers and crowns
NHS guidance describes a veneer as a new facing for a tooth and a crown as a cap that completely covers a real tooth. How the two compare is set out in porcelain veneers and crowns compared.
Porcelain and composite veneers
The Canadian Dental Association says veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth and can be made of porcelain or composite resin. The two materials are weighed in choosing between porcelain and composite veneers.
To ask about cosmetic dental treatment, book online or call 0114 288 2121.
Where are other comparisons covered?
Other sections own the cosmetic comparisons this section does not hold: composite bonding, teeth whitening and orthodontics.
The composite bonding section owns choices for or against bonding, including a page on choosing between bonding and veneers.
The teeth whitening section owns choices between whitening methods, such as professional whitening and shop-bought kits. The orthodontic section owns choices between appliances, including a page on fixed braces compared with aligners.
Crown treatment itself, and choices between restorations such as a crown and a filling, sit in the restorative dentistry section.
Which cosmetic treatments can you ask the practice about?
Cosmetic options at Deepcar Dental Care include porcelain veneers, composite veneers and ceramic crowns for cosmetic reasons. There is free parking directly outside.

Frequently asked questions
What should a dentist explain before you choose between two cosmetic options?
A dentist should explain the relevant options and their possible costs, which GDC standards require before treatment starts as part of valid consent. Patients may also want to know each option's risks and potential benefits, the likely prognosis, the recommended option and what might happen if no treatment is carried out.
Can a comparison page tell me which option is right for me?
No. Each comparison page sets out how two options differ without naming a winner, because the right choice depends on the individual teeth and on what you want to change. A comparison page can help you prepare questions for a dentist, who can advise once your teeth have been assessed.
Where is composite bonding weighed against porcelain veneers?
In the composite bonding section, not here. Composite bonding is a treatment in its own right, so that section weighs it against porcelain veneers as a choice of treatment. This section compares porcelain and composite veneers as materials, for anyone already considering a veneer.
