The shape of our teeth can affect our lives in many ways, some obvious and some subtle. Having a smile that we enjoy can increase our self-confidence and improve our overall sense of well-being. On the other hand, damaged, stained, or cracked teeth can make us feel uncomfortable in social situations, damage our self-confidence, and destroy our overall sense of happiness.

Although there are many things we can do to maintain the shape of our teeth and improve our smile, sometimes we need professional help to get the results we really want. This is why your dentist may recommend cosmetic dentistry treatments like porcelain veneers. Now, in order to really explain the value and benefits of treatment such as dental coverage, it is important to understand why the procedure may be necessary in the first place.

There are many things that can cause a tooth to become stuck in a situation that the patient may not be happy about.

What Causes Equilibrium Changes or Damage?

In most cases where dental coverage is recommended, the reason is related to ongoing decay of the teeth themselves. Lack of good dental hygiene habits at home, such as brushing too often or neglecting to brush, can slowly lead to visible wear on tooth enamel. It usually starts as a yellow tinge on the teeth, progressing over time to an increasingly dark color.

Some teeth may begin to develop decay or discolouration, becoming darker in some areas and lighter in others. This diagnosis is usually due to the combination of the staining effect produced by certain types of food, such as coffee and red wine, and the combination of plaque and tartar on the teeth. If tooth discoloration is the only problem, it can be solved with professional dental treatment.

However, the effects of poor dental hygiene do not stop at surface stains. The accumulation of bacteria in the form of plaque and tartar accelerates the process of tooth decay. The acidity of the plaque produced by these bacteria gradually eats away the hard enamel of the teeth, creating cavities, rough surfaces, grooves and other physical damage to the teeth.

This type of decay in tooth structure remains visible and is visible even if the change is corrected. In addition to spots and holes, teeth can also be damaged by sudden impacts, such as those that often occur in contact sports such as hockey and football, or perhaps from collisions, trips or falls. Such reactions can lead to chips or cracks in the teeth which, if left untreated, can lead to other dental health problems later on.

Teeth can be damaged by brushing too hard, which wears down on the surface of the tooth and can create sharp edges or weak spots that can be prone to rapid tooth decay. Now, the first thing that needs to be done in any of these situations is to find out exactly the root cause of the problem and implement a treatment plan to solve it so that the deformation and destruction does not continue. This can include a complete change in home health care system, developing better lifestyle habits such as quitting smoking, or investing in proper mouth protection before engaging in contact sports, to name a few.

However, once the cause of the problem is identified and treated, the damaged and broken teeth remain. If your dentist thinks that this is the best solution for your particular case, cosmetic dental treatment with dental veneers in Bali can begin then.

What Are Dental Veneers and How Do They Work?

Simply put, dental veneers are thin veneers that are placed over the surface of the teeth to create a uniform and consistent appearance in the patient's smile. Many dental veneers are made from an ultra-strong and resistant drug grade porcelain material that gives a very natural look and is almost different from real teeth. Dental crowns in Bali are custom-made to size for each patient, so the end of the crown fits perfectly with the rest of the mouth.

This is done by raising the teeth approximately evenly across the surface of the veneers themselves. Once this is done, the dentist will proceed by creating a replica of the patient's entire mouth, down to the smallest detail. This pattern is used as a reference to properly manufacture the veneers for the best results and the best final appearance.

During the creation of a permanent crown, the dentist may place a temporary crown on the tooth to protect the surface of the tooth. Once the veneers are made, the dentist will schedule another appointment to remove the temporary veneers and place the permanent veneers. In this final appointment, each tooth will be carefully prepared for the veneer application to ensure that a strong connection is possible, and a strong dental adhesive is used to attach the dental mask to the tooth completely.

Once the procedure is complete, the patient is ready to enjoy their new, perfect smile! It cannot be overstated how difficult the change can be for some people. In some cases, the severity of the change can motivate patients who are not yet fully satisfied with their facial appearance.

Patients experience improvement in self-confidence and complete satisfaction with their appearance, which in turn can lead to long-term progress in overall well-being and general condition. It's amazing how much benefit can be gained from these types of cosmetic dentistry!

How Much Does Porcelain Veneers Cost?

Compared to many other types of dental procedures, porcelain dental veneers can be very expensive, but the range can be very wide depending on the specific scope of treatment for one person. In general, porcelain veneers can run $900 to $3,000, depending on the number of teeth that will be veneered and the amount of preparation needed to get the teeth in good condition for the procedure. It should be noted that porcelain veneers, like many other cosmetic dentistry treatments, are not always covered by insurance companies and corporate benefit plans in Canada.

However, that doesn't mean there aren't financial aid options available to help manage costs. In fact, Bali Dental Voyage is happy to offer an in-house dental financing service to help patients get the treatment they need faster, while making it easier to manage all the costs.

Oral Care Recommendations for Patients With Dental Coverage

Patients who get dental insurance are often surprised at how little maintenance they need. All the same dental care practices apply to people with veneers, with some minor differences. Of course, brushing and flossing are still very important, but you'll want to avoid harsh toothpastes and stick to a soft-bristled toothbrush.

For some advice, consult your dentist and he will give you the best option to choose. Regular use of an insecticide can also be very beneficial in keeping harmful bacteria away that can cause rot. People who regularly grind their teeth will also need to take extra precautions to avoid damaging their gums, which will require wearing a special nighttime mouth guard while they sleep.

On the plus side, it will help reduce other teeth grinding symptoms such as headaches and muscle pain. Avoiding hard chewing will also be important. This includes things like ice cream, bone candies, fingernails, and pens or pencils.

Maintaining a regular schedule of professional dental checkups and hygiene treatments is also important for your overall dental health, as well as helping to keep your veneers in top condition. This means making future appointments at the end of each visit and maintaining an open conversation with your dentist about any concerns you may have about your oral health and dental care.
