Can I get veneers if I have gum disease?+
Gum inflammation may need attention first, because stable gums frame the result and support predictable margins. Your dentist can examine your gums and advise on the order of care.
Can a veneer cover a cavity?+
A veneer is not a treatment for decay, which is why active cavities are looked at before any cosmetic planning. The examination will show what each tooth needs.
Will a long gap in dental visits count against me?+
Not at all. Let us know when you last had care so the clinic can discuss your appointment needs. You will then get a current view of your teeth and gums.
How much longer will this make the process?+
That depends entirely on what needs attention, so it cannot be estimated without seeing you. Once you know the findings, ask your dentist how the timing might unfold.
Could fixing my teeth first change what I want?+
It might. Some people find their goals shift once other concerns have been handled, and the veneer plan can be discussed again at that point.
Living in Tyndall Park, how do I begin with an assessment?+
Ask for an assessment using this page’s form or by calling (204) 338-3003. It would take place at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street, and you can mention any concerns when the clinic responds.
