I'm not knocking the product. I was merely pointing out that it's only as good as what you've got to work with and it's certainly no fault of the CAD/CAM technology by any means. Because it's laser-scanned, dentists expect perfect restorations every time & that's not always the case. If a dentist wants a CAD/CAM product and his impression is shit (poor margins, material pulled away from the triple tray, etc) he's not going to get a 100% fit no matter how high-tech the equipment is.

A cap aka crown is a full tooth restoration (like if a tooth is severely decayed and a filling won't help). A veneer is basically a thin shell or sleeve that fits over the front of your tooth and is considered mostly cosmetic.
