Q. Hello Dr Suri I have a bridge and crowns, the bridge is still v good, but the crown on the left side is showing the grey metal near the gum. Can you apply veneer to a crown? 

A. Hi
thank you for your question
You can apply a veneer to a crown but is not usually a satisfactory end result. It is better to have the crown replaced as it is probably the same price and you will get a much better end result. The new crown can be matched to you bridge if you are concerned about the restorations will look
Kind regards
