Sharp canines, boxy front teeth, one tooth narrower than its partner. Teeth that have looked this way all your life can feel like a fixed feature, but shape is something a dentist can assess.
Let's find a time
Nothing has gone wrong with a tooth that has simply always had an unusual outline. Even so, it can bother you, and veneers are among the ways of changing how teeth appear when their shape or proportion is the thing you would like to alter.
Polo Park residents who are wondering about this can ask for an assessment at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Sometimes smoothing a small edge or adding bonding is enough, so one useful part of the visit is hearing how much intervention your particular tooth would really need.

A veneer plan can address how a tooth is outlined, as well as what shade it is.
Tell us if a little individuality appeals to you more than a perfectly uniform row.
Reshaping or bonding may be raised if your concern is limited to a minor outline change.
Changing a tooth’s outline generally means building on it, smoothing it or both. A brief overview of each helps you make sense of the options you may hear.
A custom piece on the front of a tooth can change how it reads from the outside.
If the change you want is slight, there are approaches that may involve less.
Whatever the appeal of a veneer, remember that enamel preparation commits a tooth to continued restoration, so a smaller step may deserve first thought.
Planning a change in form is quite visual. These stages show how you and your dentist move from a general dislike to an agreed tooth shape.
Request your visitExplain which tooth or teeth bother you and the outline you would prefer. Your dentist then examines their condition, along with your gums and bite.
We talk about whether reshaping, bonding, aligners or veneers would suit the change you are after. Photos and scans can support this discussion.
You might be shown the new outline on screen or as a physical model, if your plan includes one. Your comments at this point can steer the design.
Going with veneers means any necessary enamel shaping, then records for the lab work. Your new pieces get a trial placement, and bonding waits for your agreement.
It helps to consider what you do like. You could look at old pictures of yourself and decide which features make your smile feel like your own before asking for anything to change.
If you are curious about fees, the cost usually depends on the option chosen and how many teeth are involved, so ask for an estimate after your assessment.

People sometimes feel vain about mentioning a tooth’s shape. You need not be embarrassed; it is a common subject, and asking leaves you free to change nothing at all.
Your own words, such as too pointy or too square, give the planning a good beginning.
A feature that friends call distinctive may be worth preserving, and only you can decide that.
Ask for extra time at any look you are shown, particularly if the change seems larger than expected.
Your new outline over time
An edge changed by a veneer takes on the everyday tasks of biting. Being careful with it, and keeping up routine care, is part of the arrangement.
Avoid using a veneered edge on anything hard. Pay particular attention if your plan changed the length of a tooth.
A reshaped outline does not call for a new cleaning routine. Decay and gum changes can still occur at the margins, so keep brushing and flossing.
Sooner or later, any veneer might crack at the rim, lift off or call for a new one. Those who grind should discuss a night guard, given the force involved.
If a shaped edge breaks or a veneer feels loose, telephone the clinic so you can be told what to do next.

Helpful details about dental veneers in Polo Park.
Ask our teamA canine’s outline can sometimes be changed with a veneer, reshaping or bonding. The dentist would check how the tooth meets the opposite teeth, since canines take part in your bite.
A veneer or bonding may make a narrow tooth look wider, while taking care not to create unnatural width. How realistic that is depends on the space and the teeth next to it.
The outline of a square tooth can often be discussed as part of smile design. Your dentist can show what a softer corner might mean for your proportions.
It could, which is why planning considers neighbouring teeth, your lips and your gumline. A preview, if used, may help you see the effect beyond the tooth itself.
