Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Selkirk Residents

Veneers placed years ago can chip, stain or begin to show their edges. Bring them to our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg to learn what can be done with the teeth underneath in mind.

Looking after existing work

A veneer can age, and the tooth beneath still matters.

No veneer has a fixed lifespan. Material, bite, grinding, daily habits, hygiene and maintenance all influence whether it chips, debonds, stains or eventually needs replacing. Selkirk is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents would come in to Winnipeg North Dental to have this work checked, and may want to ask what a replacement could involve.

The material guides that conversation. A chip in porcelain can be hard to repair invisibly and may lead to replacement, usually across planning, preparation, fabrication and bonding visits. Composite may allow more straightforward additions or polishing, although it stains more readily. A veneer cannot decay, but the natural tooth at its margins can.

Margins get examined

Decay can develop along a veneer’s edge or on uncovered surfaces, so brushing, interdental cleaning and exams stay essential.

Bite as a factor

Contacts and grinding habits can stress a restoration, so they are reviewed when working out why it failed or aged.

A shade decision

If you want your natural teeth lighter, tell the dentist first, because whitening is commonly finished before a new veneer is matched.

Reviewing what is there

Start by finding out why it changed.

Replacing a veneer without knowing the reason it failed can repeat the problem. A useful review may run this way.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Mention what you have noticed

    A chip, a dark line near the gum or a change in shade are all worth describing. Say you are coming from Selkirk, and bring any details you have about the original work.

  2. 02

    Have teeth, gums and bite reviewed

    Healthy tissue, sound tooth structure and a stable bite are the foundation for anything new, so these are checked along with the veneer itself.

  3. 03

    Ask what the next steps would take

    Find out how many trips a repair or replacement might require, and how fabrication or follow-up would affect your schedule.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Selkirk.

Ask our team
Can a chipped porcelain veneer be patched?

Chips can be difficult to repair invisibly, and replacement may be needed. The size and location of the damage guide what the dentist can suggest.

Can my teeth go back to how they were if I remove the veneers?

Generally not when enamel was prepared for them. Such a tooth continues to need a restoration, even when the veneer on it is replaced.

Why does my veneer look darker than the teeth around it?

Porcelain has strong colour stability, while composite can stain. Your natural teeth can change as well, so comparing the two in person is the reasonable first step.

Can whitening help my teeth match my veneers?

Natural teeth may lighten, but veneers will not, so whitening can sometimes widen a difference. Have it assessed before you try a home product or supervised system.

Could a veneer come loose from grinding?

Grinding is among the factors that influence chipping and debonding. If you know you clench or grind, mention it, since it may change how new work is planned.

What should I do from Selkirk if a veneer falls off?

Telephone the clinic at (204) 338-3003 and explain what happened, as the online form is not meant for urgent concerns. The team can discuss what comes next.
