Our parents and grandparents had a completely outlook when it came to dentists. They probably never went for a checkup or a cleaning. When they had a toothache the tooth was pulled. When they had a cavity, it was filled - probably without any type of pain killer. Cosmetic dentistry wasn't even a pipe dream.
Crest toothpaste really changed things in the 1960s when it came out with a toothpaste that did more than just clean your teeth. It promised to prevent cavities! And it did! Suddenly dentists had more to do than fix problems. They could now prevent them. And helped to herald in a completely new era in dental visits!
One of the first major improvements in finding the perfect smile was bonding. This was very simple, very affordable, and the first add on service a regular dentist could offer that patients would pay for out of pocket since insurance companies saw no reason as yet to cover the cost. The process was painless and could fix many problems from an irregular smile to a large gap in the front teeth. It was also successful in repairing cracks and chipped teeth.
Bonding also took the place of caps. Earlier caps were used by the wealthy when they wanted to improve their smiles. Some of the earlier movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe were almost forced by their studios to have their entire mouthful of teeth replaced with caps. Beautiful maybe, but super expensive and very invasive.
Caps, especially back then, were notorious for breaks and chips and even for falling off. When bonding came about, it was discovered that bonding could do almost everything a cap could for a fraction of the cost and discomfort. Actually, bonding has no pain or discomfort at all associated with the procedure.
Implants came next in the 80s as well. Although they are still very expensive and the process is still considered to be painful, they offer patients a way to have teeth they wouldn't have any other way. Unlike dentures and bridges that can only be used when perfectly healthy teeth are filed down in order to fit these appliances over, an implant needs nothing else destroyed. A metal screw is placed in the jaw bone and a tooth is made to screw on top of it. It is permanent and can do everything the original tooth did, and more.
Veneers Toronto came next. Veneers are a bit different in that they don't repair anything, they simply hide the problems. They are fairly expensive for each tooth but they are painless to put on and a brand new smile can be achieved in less than a few hours. There is very little prep work other than some simple filing on the surface of the original teeth needed for the new veneer to adhere to.
Insurance still doesn't pay for most of these advances so dentists have learned how to devise finance plans to help patients take advantage of these new Orthodontics Toronto .
