Restorative & Prosthodontics for Selkirk Residents

Work on front teeth is judged by eye as well as by function. Shape and shade are reviewed along the way, so ask how those checkpoints would fit into your trips into Winnipeg.

Looks and function together

On a front tooth, you get a say in how it looks.

A chipped edge, a darkened tooth or a mismatched older restoration can bother you every time you look in a mirror. Selkirk lies outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents who come to our McPhillips Street clinic for this care may want to know when the key appearance decisions get made.

The right approach depends on the tooth. Veneers are thin restorations bonded to the front surface and can change colour, proportion or edges, but they don’t strengthen every damaged tooth. A crown covers the visible tooth when it needs more reinforcement. Healthy gums and a stable bite matter for either one.

Shade

Shade information is recorded early. Whitening first may be worth discussing, since ceramic won’t lighten along with natural teeth.

Shape

Tooth proportions should suit your lips, gums and neighbouring teeth, so tell your dentist what you hope to keep as well as change.

Strength

Heavy contacts or grinding can overload thin restorations, which is why your bite is part of the assessment.

Reviewing appearance along the way

Speak up at each checkpoint.

Final bonding shouldn’t be the first time you judge how a tooth looks. Each of these moments offers a chance for your opinion.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    At the planning stage

    Point out what bothers you in the mirror. Photographs, scans and shade records may be used to define the proposed result.

  2. 02

    During any preview

    With veneers, a digital or physical preview may help you judge proportion. Ask if one is planned, and how it would be arranged.

  3. 03

    At the try-in

    Fit and appearance are checked before anything is permanently placed. If something looks off, this is the moment to say so.

Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Selkirk.

Ask our team
How do I choose between a veneer and a crown on a front tooth?

A veneer covers the front surface for changes to colour, shape or edges, and a crown covers the visible tooth for greater reinforcement. How much sound structure remains is often the deciding factor.

Should I whiten before getting a restoration?

Ask before shades are chosen. Ceramic doesn’t respond to whitening, so if you are hoping for lighter teeth, the order of treatment could matter.

Is a veneer reversible if I change my mind?

Treat it as a lasting decision. When enamel has been prepared, that tooth will continue to need a restoration, so weigh future maintenance before going ahead.

How many front teeth should be treated?

Your visible smile, symmetry, colour transitions and goals all figure into it. Treating more teeth isn’t automatically better, and you can ask about alternatives such as bonding.

Will coffee stain my new restoration?

Ceramic resists many stains, but natural teeth and bonded margins can still change. Coffee, tobacco and your hygiene routine remain relevant to your overall smile.

Can I bite into hard food with a veneered front tooth?

Protect it from biting on hard objects. Veneers can chip or debond, and if you clench or grind, it’s sensible to bring up a night guard.

What should a Selkirk resident say when asking about a front tooth?

Explain whether the concern is appearance, damage or both, then send the form or dial (204) 338-3003. Someone will reply with what to do from there.
