a cap or a crown is a dental restoration that covers an entire tooth like a new coat of enamel. a porcelain veneer covers the outside or visible face of the tooth. they are equally safe when used in the proper situations. for example if a tooth is badly broken down by decay and has no remaining support it needs a crown. if there is severe discoloration or chipping or misalignment of a front tooth a veneer may be the most appropriate treatment.
