Bitten nails, chewed pens, a package torn open with your front teeth. Small daily habits may have shaped your edges already, and they matter just as much once thin ceramic is involved.
Let's find a time
Front teeth tend to get used for far more than eating. Over time, that extra work can contribute to minor wear or chipping along their edges, and those are among the concerns that bring people to ask about veneers. The same habits can go on to threaten a new restoration if they continue unchanged.
Stony Mountain is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents come into Winnipeg for an assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic. Be candid about what your teeth put up with. No one needs a perfect record, but knowing your habits leads to more realistic advice about whether veneers suit you.

Biting hard objects can damage thin restorations, so it is a habit worth examining early.
Clenching or grinding may need attention before any veneers are designed for you.
Accurate information about daily habits makes advice about suitability more dependable.
A veneer may change the appearance of a worn edge, but it does not remove what caused the wear. Both halves of that equation belong in your assessment.
Some habits are obvious and others go almost unnoticed. It may help to observe yourself for a week or so ahead of your appointment.
Small imperfections can sometimes be refined, provided the bite and the forces involved leave thin restorations a reasonable chance.
Veneers do not strengthen every damaged tooth. Where damage goes beyond a minor edge issue, another restoration may be more appropriate, and an examination is what makes that clear.
Habits are not a side issue. You can expect bite and wear to come up across the stages of planning, not only at the end.
Request your visitMention a chip, a shortened edge or a known habit when you send your request. The clinic follows up to arrange your assessment.
Heavy contacts, wear patterns, gums, enamel and history are all reviewed. Grinding or an unstable bite may need attention before cosmetic plans go any further.
Photographs, scans and shade selection define a proposed result, and a preview can show proposed edge changes. Ask how your bite influences the design.
After any enamel shaping and fabrication, each veneer is tried in and checked. It is bonded once both fit and appearance have been approved.
We all have habits we forget about. Before your visit, try paying attention to what your teeth are doing during work, driving and screen time.
Ask about an estimate once your needs are clear, including any night guard that might be advised. Coverage depends on your insurance plan.
Wood floors and a rug at reception, and a blue bench in the waiting area.
Admitting to nail biting or opening packages with your teeth can feel a bit embarrassing. The purpose of asking is planning. Share what you can, without expecting a telling-off.
You need not overhaul every habit at once, though it helps to know which matter most.
If grinding is an issue, it makes sense to ask how a night guard could fit into your plan.
Soreness or tightness in your jaw is worth a mention when your bite is being reviewed.
New habits, once bonded
After placement, your cleaning routine barely changes. Your use of your front teeth may need to change more, and that is what will protect the ceramic.
A pair of scissors or a pocket tool can spare your front teeth a good deal of avoidable force over the years.
Regular brushing and cleaning between teeth keep the natural margin of each veneered tooth in good shape.
If a veneer feels rough, chipped or loose after biting something hard, let the clinic know about it.
Everyday force is one reason no one can promise how long veneers will last. Grinding, trauma, hygiene and bonding all influence how they hold up.

Helpful details about dental veneers in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamNot automatically, but it is important to say so. Biting hard things can damage thin restorations, so the habit should be factored into any decision about treatment.
Minor chips affecting the smile line can be one reason to consider a veneer. Depending on the damage, bonding or another restoration may suit better, as an examination can show.
You might not. Wear patterns and heavy bite contacts can be checked during your assessment, and you can mention any jaw soreness you notice in the morning.
Ordinary meals are one thing, but biting hard objects is what you need to guard against. Ask for guidance about any foods that concern you, based on your own bite.
Call the clinic and describe it, including any pain. Staff can advise you how soon the tooth should be seen, and it is usually better to ask than to wait and wonder.
Send a request through this page or dial (204) 338-3003, noting the tooth that concerns you. The assessment takes place at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street.
Depending on how much damage there is, one of these treatments could suit your tooth better. Each page explains what it involves.
