Most veneer plans leave some natural teeth untreated right next to the new ones. How those neighbours look together, on the day of bonding and years on, deserves as much thought as the veneers themselves.
Let's find a time
Veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front surfaces of selected teeth. When only some teeth receive them, the others stay as they are, and the two have to look as though they belong together. Shade, surface texture and translucency are planned with those untreated teeth in mind, not chosen in isolation.
A Sage Creek resident planning a handful of veneers can work through this at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. One honest point to keep in mind: ceramic resists many stains, but natural teeth and the bonded edges can still shift in colour over time.

Colour is judged against the teeth beside it, not against a guide alone.
Surface character affects how well a veneer blends with natural enamel.
Untreated enamel can shift in colour, while ceramic resists many stains.
Blending is partly about the veneers and partly about the teeth they sit beside. Both sides of that equation get attention during planning.
These are agreed before fabrication so the result fits its surroundings.
The untreated teeth also influence what is achievable.
If whitening is part of your plan, its timing matters: the veneer shade is usually chosen to match the teeth as they will be, not as they were.
The process gives you repeated opportunities to see the veneers beside your natural teeth before anything is fixed.
Request your visitPhotographs, scans and shade selection take in the treated and untreated teeth together, along with an examination of gums, enamel and bite.
Where a preview is used, it can suggest how proportions will sit beside the teeth you are keeping natural.
Any enamel reduction is kept modest, and detailed new records travel with the shade and texture notes to whoever fabricates the veneers.
Seated temporarily beside the untreated teeth, the veneers are looked over for fit and how well they blend. Nothing is bonded until you are content.
Decisions about whitening and work on adjacent teeth affect the shade target, so they are worth thinking through before planning gets far.
Colour preferences are personal. A shade a little less bright can sometimes blend more easily with untreated teeth, but the decision is yours to make with the dentist.
The reception counter with plants, and a consultation desk by a window.
Shade can look different from one moment to the next as the light changes. You can ask to look at the match more than once, and to say if something seems slightly off.
If a veneer looks lighter or darker than its neighbour, say so before bonding.
Looking from a normal distance helps you judge the blend as others will see it.
Find out how your natural teeth might change in colour relative to the veneers.
Keeping the match
A good match on bonding day can drift if the natural teeth change. Everyday care supports both the veneers and their untreated neighbours.
Coffee, tobacco and hygiene go on affecting the natural teeth and the bonded edges, even though ceramic resists many stains.
Floss and brush around the veneers exactly as before; the strip of natural tooth at each edge still needs protecting from cavities and gum problems.
Keep veneered teeth away from hard items like ice or bottle caps, and raise clenching or grinding so a night guard can be considered.
A chipped or loose veneer, or a tooth that starts to hurt, is a reason to telephone the clinic instead of using the request form.

Ask our teamThey may. Ceramic resists many stains, while natural teeth and bonding margins can change colour over the years, influenced by diet, tobacco and hygiene.
If whitening is in your plans, it often makes sense to discuss its timing first, since the veneer shade is chosen to match the surrounding teeth.
Shade is agreed with you before fabrication and checked at try-in. Choosing a natural shade that suits the neighbouring teeth is part of the planning conversation.
The try-in exists so fit and appearance can be evaluated before bonding. Raise any concern then, while changes are still possible.
Whitening is designed for natural tooth colour, and veneers are not reversible like whitening. That is one reason shade is settled carefully before bonding.
Send the form mentioning which teeth you want treated, or phone (204) 338-3003. Shade work takes place at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg once your time is confirmed.
