In cosmetic dentistry, crowns (sometimes called "caps") are used less frequently since the advent of veneers, but in some cases a crown may be necessary for a particular tooth. A tooth with a bad fracture or a large filling may be a candidate for a crown instead of a veneer.
Before:
This tooth has a large filling as shown. A crown is needed on this tooth,
instead of a veneer, because there isn't enough natural tooth left to support
a veneer. A crown will cover and protect the tooth, but will look the same
as a veneer.
After:
The top teeth now have veneers, except the one that had the large filling,
which now has a crown.
