Q. Hi there, I have the top front four teeth crowned or capped, i’m not sure which. i have had this done for approx 7 years. The teeth are still great but the gum surroundig has strarted to receed. Could I have them repaired, and also have my bottom teeth done to blend in., Could you tell me what is the difference between these and venneers. Thank you

A. Crowns cover all the surfaces of your tooth whereas veneers generally just cover the front service like a facing.  You need to find out why the gums have shrunk back this could be due to plaque build up or that you grind your teeth possible at night.
