Few smiles are a blank slate. If there are crowns, a bridge or tooth-coloured fillings near your front teeth, any new veneer needs to work alongside them in colour, shape and bite.
Let's find a time
Existing restorations influence a veneer plan in practical ways. They have a fixed colour that may not match the rest of your teeth, they may be nearing the end of their useful life, and they affect how your bite comes together. So the question usually goes beyond which teeth to cover: it includes what should happen to the work beside them.
Brooklands is in Winnipeg, and residents wondering how this could apply to them can arrange a look at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Older work gets examined along with your natural teeth. You can then talk about keeping it, replacing it or leaving a planned veneer for another time.

Restorations you are keeping set limits on the shades that will look at home in your smile.
Leaking edges or worn surfaces on older work may need attention before cosmetic plans continue.
All the surfaces in your mouth meet each other, so your bite has to be considered as a whole.
Part of planning is simply taking stock. Each piece of older work falls broadly into one of two groups, and the examination is what shows you which.
A sound restoration can remain in place, with your plan built around how it looks and functions.
Other restorations may be raised for repair or replacement, whether for health or for appearance.
Replacing a restoration is not automatic, and it is never only about matching. You can ask what would happen if you decided to leave a given piece of work alone.
The usual veneer sequence applies, with an added layer of decisions about what is already in your mouth. This is how those decisions tend to fit in.
Request your visitYour dentist examines each relevant restoration along with your natural teeth, gums and bite. X-rays may be discussed when they are clinically appropriate.
Any work that needs attention is identified, and you talk over its order. Healthy foundations come ahead of colour and shape in that discussion.
Photographs, scans and shade selection look at your new and existing restorations together. A digital or physical preview may help you assess overall balance.
Selected teeth are prepared conservatively as needed, then records guide fabrication. Each veneer is tried in beside your existing work, then bonded following approval.
You do not need a complete list, and most people cannot recall exactly which tooth got what. Even a general idea helps your dentist understand what they are looking at.
If another clinic did your earlier work, you can ask about having your records or X-rays sent over. Questions about fees can be raised with the clinic as well.
A bright waiting area with plants, and a consultation room with a wall print.
If you have had lots of treatment over the years, you may feel worn out by dental chairs or nervous about yet more work. Mention it. Your experience so far can help shape how care is explained to you.
It is fine to say you would prefer as little new work as reasonably possible.
Tell us what made earlier treatment easier or harder, so that we understand your preferences.
When several things could be done, ask what is necessary and what is purely a matter of preference.
A mix of materials to look after
Once veneers sit alongside crowns or fillings, you have multiple restorations that will age in their own ways. It helps to treat them as a group.
Natural teeth, bonded edges and older tooth-coloured materials can change differently over the years, so contrasts may gradually become visible.
Brush and clean between all these teeth normally. Any margin between a restoration and natural tooth can still develop trouble.
Grinding and biting on hard things threaten restorations of every kind, so ask about a night guard if you clench.
Keep up with dental visits and report anything loose, sharp or changing. Any restoration, including a veneer, may eventually need repair or replacement.

Helpful details about dental veneers in Brooklands.
Ask our teamThat is often part of the shade discussion. Once a crown has been placed, its colour is set, so your dentist can explain how closely a veneer could relate to it and whether anything limits that.
Only if the examination gives a reason, such as decay, damage or a colour that would interfere with the plan. Ask about each one, because the answer can differ from tooth to tooth.
Sometimes, based on the filling’s size and the enamel that remains for bonding. If the tooth has been heavily restored, another option might be recommended instead.
Veneers on neighbouring teeth might change the overall look, but they will not alter the crown’s colour. Ask whether replacing the crown, adjusting your plan or both would make sense.
Whitening does not change existing restorations in the way it changes natural teeth. Bring up any plans early, because they can affect both the veneer shade and the older work.
Ask about a sensible order. Health concerns come first, and your dentist can explain what might reasonably wait and what should be done together for the sake of colour.
