I have some slightly crooked teeth on my lower jaw in front, what is my best option here, veneers or crowns? Also I want something that will look good and be very effective while cost friendly. Any ideas?

well bleaching works well for whitening, but veneers would fix the crooked ones and whiten, they are expensive and insurance does not cover them.

I have actually been considering this also and through what I have found, as well as from my dentist, veneers are the way to go. There is relatively no pain, you don't even need a numbing agent. They also do not have to "file down" or alter your personal teeth in order to place the veneers. They are also very thin, yet strong. And cost wise they are much, much cheaper then any of the other cosmetic options I have looked at, including crowns.
Hope that helps some. And good luck!

Crowns are best as they replace the tooth completely rather than sticking a veneer on top of the grey tooth. Crowns last a lot longer and look and feel better. If you just get a veneer if you ever have problems with the grey teeth again the veneers will have to be removed and replaced, whereas a crown (having removed the tooth completely) will prevent any future troubles with infections, damage, replacements, etc.

I would go with veneers. You may also want to ask the dentist about bonding, I chipped a tooth once and my dentist used bonding to fi it cosmetically. If you can do that, you don't have to wait, the dentist can do it in the same visit.

My lower front-4 were slightly crooked too.
As they became in need of crowns, my dentist designed the front-4 as a straight set, fitting perfectly together and with my upper bite.
I am so pleased.
(but still paying on the bill)

The best way to go- is to ask your dentist to X-ray your teeth and be open to a professional suggestion/and consider your options.

veneers are a hell of a lot cheaper than crowns.

Ask the dentist. Consultation is free.
