Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Pembina Residents

No. The phrase means less enamel is taken away, not that nothing changes. A prepared tooth will still need a restoration from then on, even if the veneer on it is later replaced.

It is the edge where one thing meets another, such as a veneer meeting the tooth or gum meeting enamel. Keeping that edge clean helps protect the natural tooth around it.

It describes whether your teeth are moving in step with the aligner sequence. If they lag, a tray may stop fitting as intended, and that is the moment to contact the clinic.

Contouring reshapes gum tissue alone. Crown lengthening also accesses the area surgically, and supporting bone may be adjusted when it sits too close to the planned gumline.

It is one way of checking where supporting bone sits beneath the gum when that position is uncertain. Imaging may be used instead, and the finding guides how far a gumline can safely change.

A shade is a recorded reference point for a tooth’s colour. Dentists note one at the start of whitening and match resin or porcelain to one, though no plan can promise an exact result.

Certainly, try (204) 338-3003 with a general question. Advice about your own teeth takes an examination, which would happen at our McPhillips Street clinic once a request has been confirmed.
