All people try to take care of their teeth to some degree. For some this will mean brushing and flossing twice a day as recommended by their dentist that they faithfully see twice a year for cleanings and check-ups. For others it means brushing just once in awhile and visiting a dentist whenever they find that they have a tooth ache. They get cavities filled when any are found. The challenging thing is that no matter what level of care people give their teeth, unique challenges can still show up. People could have accidents where their teeth get chipped. They drink coffee or tea, smoke and any of these things can cause stains to show up on their teeth slowly over time.
When you go to your dentist, you may be told that you need veneers in Honolulu to make your teeth look better. Veneers are very thin porcelain covers that get permanently bonded to teeth so that they no longer show chips that can’t be fixed any other way. They also cover teeth that are stained so deeply that no amount of cleaning a dentist can do will get rid of the stain. Before veneers were developed, there was nothing that could be done to fix permanent staining and chipping of a person’s teeth. The person with these dental challenges had only two choices. They could just learn to live with less than perfect teeth or they could have the dentist remove the teeth and replace them with either a bridge or dental implants.
With advances in dentistry, veneers were developed and the methods of permanently bonding them to teeth were developed. At first these procedures were extremely expensive and therefore only available to the wealthy. Like other advanced dental procedures, over time veneers in Honolulu became available to patients of all income levels. Insurance companies became convinced of the need for veneers for the mental well being of patients and the cost of the procedures lowered over time. Today nearly everyone that has needs for veneers can get them. The training in the procedures for bonding veneers went from being only available to cosmetic dentists to be included in the training of general service dentistry.
If you have stained or chipped teeth, talk to your dentist about getting veneers bonded onto your teeth so that you can get your great looking smile back.
