Porcelain veneers in Kauai should be considered permanent in the sense that they must be replaced if they are lost or damaged to prevent tooth damage.
Our veneers are thin but durable tooth shells cemented to the forward-facing teeth. These custom restorations conceal most tooth flaws, including:
- Short and worn teeth
- Small gaps or spaces between teeth
- Gummy smiles
- Tooth stains and discoloration
- Mild misalignment
- General aesthetic flaws
Veneers give you a Hollywood-ready smile!
Why Porcelain Veneers Are Permanent
Before cementing your veneers, the dentist removes a bit of enamel and gently etches the tooth. This allows the veneer to fit snuggly and not bulk. However, removing dental enamel means the tooth must always remain covered.
Fortunately, dental veneers can last a decade or longer with proper care.
We recommend visiting your cosmetic dentist in Kauai regularly for exams and teeth cleanings. You should also brush and floss your teeth as usual to prevent infections and other oral health complications.
Your dentist will evaluate your smile and discuss your goals to ensure veneer candidacy.
