Photos show what veneers look like, but they cannot tell you how a changed tooth edge feels against your lip or tongue. If that side of things is on your mind, here is what to raise.
Let's find a time
Your tongue knows your front teeth extremely well. Even a small change in thickness, length or edge position can register, and a lot of people notice something different at first. That is one reason contacts, edges and your bite are looked at in addition to colour and shape during planning.
River Trail residents who want to understand this before deciding can arrange an assessment at Winnipeg North Dental, where care takes place on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. The dentist can talk about how your own bite and tooth positions might affect the feel of any planned change.
Explore dental veneers
Lips and tongue are sensitive, so a changed contour can stand out in a way photos never show.
Heavy contacts place thin restorations under force, and they can also just feel wrong.
Anything sharp, high or persistently odd is worth reporting, instead of simply putting up with it.
Some new sensations are simply unfamiliar, while others deserve a look. The lists below are a general guide, and the clinic is the place to take any doubts.
Your mouth has spent years learning your old teeth, so a change in surface or outline can take some adjusting to.
These are signs that something may need checking or adjusting, and they are not ones to wait out in silence.
Everyone’s experience differs, and nothing here predicts yours. Ask what you might reasonably expect from the particular plan proposed for you.
Sensation does not get left to chance at the end. Each stage of the normal veneer sequence has its own opportunity to look at function as well as appearance.
Request your visitYour examination covers teeth, gums and how your jaws come together, with X-rays considered when clinically appropriate. Mention any existing soreness or sensitive spots.
Photographs, scans and your goals define the proposal. Edge position forms part of that design, so raise anything about how your front teeth feel now.
A digital or physical preview may help with proportions. When required, enamel is conservatively shaped next, and detailed records guide the making of your veneers.
Restorations are evaluated in place before bonding. Point out anything that catches or presses, along with your thoughts about how the veneers look.
Your current habits and sensitivities offer useful clues. A sentence or two about what already bothers you can shape how a plan is designed.
Ask ahead of time how preparation may feel, and whether freezing would be used for your appointment. Fee questions are welcome as well.

People often assume they should just get used to a small irritation. You can always raise it. Noticing something and asking about it is a sensible part of looking after new dental work.
Catching, rubbing, too thick or simply odd are all perfectly good descriptions to offer.
Find out what options there are for your comfort during preparation and bonding.
Being anxious about sensations is common. Telling us early allows time to go over what to expect.
The weeks after bonding
Once veneers are placed, most of your attention can return to ordinary things. A little awareness in the early period can help you catch what needs a second look.
Normal brushing and between-teeth cleaning continue from the start, unless you have been given different instructions for your case.
If an odd sensation seems to be getting stronger, or simply is not settling, contact the clinic and describe what you are noticing.
Nails, pens and hard foods can do damage. If you wake with a tired jaw, ask whether a night guard would help.
If a veneer comes off or something hurts, call the clinic instead of using the form. Long-term, chips, debonding and replacement are all possible.

Helpful details about dental veneers in River Trail.
Ask our teamSome people notice a difference at first, depending on how the tooth was shaped and how the veneer was planned. If a contour remains bothersome, tell your dentist and ask what could be looked at.
Upper front teeth play a part in forming some sounds, so a change to their edges may be noticeable. Bring it up if you speak or sing for a living, and report anything that does not settle.
Some patients do experience sensitivity once enamel has been shaped, though this differs from person to person. Your dentist can tell you what to watch for, and when to phone.
Veneers are intended for everyday use, but they are thin and can chip under the wrong kind of force. Ask about any foods or habits that could be a concern with your bite.
Contact the clinic. An uneven contact is worth checking, as heavy contacts can damage thin restorations as well as feeling uncomfortable.
Plenty of people do this with any change to their front teeth. Should a particular spot feel rough or sharp, though, mention it so that it can be examined.
