If you enjoy coffee or tea, or use tobacco, you may wonder whether veneers would hold their colour better than your teeth do. The honest answer has a few parts to it.
Let's find a time
Ceramic veneers resist many stains, and that appeals to anyone who has watched their teeth pick up colour from a favourite drink. That does not make a whole smile stain-proof, though. Natural teeth stay exposed, the margins where restoration meets tooth can change, and hygiene still plays its part.
For anyone in Inkster Gardens, in Winnipeg, the useful question is how your habits would affect your own smile over time. You can bring that question to Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, where a surface stain and a deeper discolouration can be told apart before you make any choice.

Discolouration that responds predictably to whitening may not call for a restoration at all.
Tell the dentist what you drink and use, as your habits affect how the overall smile ages.
Veneers sit beside untreated teeth that can keep changing colour even as the ceramic resists stains.
A smile is made up of several surfaces that behave differently. Looking at them separately makes it easier to set realistic expectations for your veneers.
The ceramic itself tends to be the part of the smile least bothered by everyday staining.
Attention belongs here too, since these are the areas your habits are most likely to affect.
Whitening may be mentioned as a first step or a separate option. Your dentist can explain how it would relate to any veneer plan.
Colour runs through every stage of veneer care. It is considered, previewed and checked again before anything becomes permanent.
Request your visitYour dentist examines the discolouration together with your gums, enamel and bite, and asks about your daily routine and anything you have tried already.
Photographs, scans and shade comparison define a proposed colour. A digital or physical preview may help you think through the planned changes.
Preparation depends partly on the colour being covered and the result you want. Enamel is shaped conservatively when required, and records are taken.
At the try-in you will see the shade on your tooth next to your natural teeth. Only with your approval does bonding proceed.
Nobody is going to scold you about your morning coffee. A clear idea of your habits simply lets the discussion of stains and upkeep reflect your real life.
If you are thinking about cutting back on tobacco or changing other habits, that is also worth mentioning during planning.

People sometimes hide their teeth because of staining and feel embarrassed to talk about it. You can speak frankly about what you use and how you feel about your smile.
If stains have made you cover your mouth in photographs, it is fine to say so at your visit.
Let us know if whitening products have left your teeth feeling sensitive, so it can be included in the discussion.
You can ask for a short rest at any point in your appointment if you need one.
Living with your coffee
Long-term satisfaction often depends on how well your veneers and your natural teeth continue to match. A little attention can help you catch any mismatch early.
Good hygiene supports the look of your whole smile. Keep cleaning between teeth too, because margins remain open to decay.
If a natural tooth begins to look darker than the veneer beside it, raise the difference with your dentist and ask about options.
Veneers can still chip or debond, so keep them away from hard objects and mention any clenching or grinding.
For a damaged veneer needing attention soon, call the clinic directly and avoid waiting on a form reply.

Helpful details about dental veneers in Inkster Gardens.
Ask our teamNothing about veneers means you have to give up your coffee, but you should know it can affect your natural teeth and veneer margins. Talk with your dentist about what that may mean for you.
That depends on the type of staining and how predictably it responds. Selected discolouration may be a reason to consider veneers, while whitening could be enough for other stains.
Your dentist is the right person to ask, since whitening acts on natural tooth colour. Raise it during planning, as it can affect how you think about shade and future upkeep.
Tobacco can influence how your overall smile looks over time, including natural teeth and margins. Mention any use so that it can be factored into your assessment and your expectations.
Ask about this before shade selection, because a veneer is matched against your remaining teeth. Your dentist can explain whether whitening first would make sense for you.
You can call (204) 338-3003, or complete the form on this page, and note that staining is your main concern. Assessment takes place at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg once a time is arranged.
