Dental veneers are a cosmetic treatment designed to remodel the teeth, something of which is increasing in demand. One of its main advantages is that it is a conservative treatment since the front of the tooth is the only thing changed. Veneers Oahu is one of the most required treatments in cosmetic dentistry versus full coverage crowns or orthodontics since they can provide a major change in social and personal levels in a short period of time. Dental veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite placed on the front of the tooth to be treated. The aim is to give the tooth shape, color or position, or cover injuries that people do not want to see. These can range from a grayish tone due to a root canal, color bands produced by drugs, cracks, fractures, diastema (small space between teeth), and so on.
Veneers can be made from 2 materials, the first of which are composite veneers. These do not need the tooth to be cut or shaped, so it is a more conservative treatment. In addition, you can easily tweak it in case of breakage or coloring and can be placed in a single session, but sometimes there is a need to touch up things. As for its disadvantages, dentists highlight the need for long-term maintenance as they tend to slightly modify the color after consuming food, beverages, mouthwashes, etc. Moreover, over the years, they become more fragile and it is very difficult to get a “10” in aesthetics.
Veneers Oahu is applied in situations where it is necessary to change position, color, size, etc. Porcelain veneers are more aesthetic and are used to achieve the much desired perfect “10” smile. They do not need maintenance because porcelain cannot be altered in color, but if they fracture, the patient must repeat the entire treatment again. It takes, at least, two appointments for the treatment to be successful, one for preparing the tooth and another to place the veneers.
The appropriate treatment for each case is valued between dentist and patient and according to the complaint, the aesthetics desired, the cost of treatment, among other criteria. In any case, the goal is to achieve a more attractive smile with the psychological, social and aesthetic benefits this procedure brings.
