Tried whitening and still not happy with the shade? If you live in Amber Trails, our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can help you find out whether veneers are worth considering.
Let's find a time
Some tooth colour simply does not respond the way people want it to. You may have whitened more than once and still feel that a few front teeth look darker or blotchier than you would like. For some Amber Trails residents reading this, that is what started the search for something else.
Veneers cover the visible surface of a tooth rather than lightening it, which is why they are sometimes considered for this kind of colour. They are a bigger step than whitening, however, and most involve preparing some enamel. At our clinic in Winnipeg, your dentist would first want to understand the discolouration and check the health of the teeth involved.
Explore veneers
A veneer masks what is underneath, whereas whitening works by changing the colour of the natural tooth.
When lighter natural teeth are part of your goal, whitening usually comes before any veneer shade is chosen.
Your teeth and gums are examined first, since cosmetic work should begin from a healthy foundation.
Choosing a shade is rarely just about going lighter. It has to work with neighbouring teeth, your face and whatever whitening you plan to do.
Your remaining natural teeth set the reference point, so it makes sense to settle their colour before committing to a veneer shade.
Where the colour of a tooth stays stubborn, or a surface defect is part of the issue, a veneer may enter the discussion.
Porcelain tends to hold its colour well, while composite resin can pick up stain over time. Your dentist can explain how that bears on your own case.
Should your assessment point toward veneers, the steps below show where colour decisions typically fall within the broader process.
Request your visitPoint to the teeth or patches that bother you, and share what you have already tried to change them.
Along with your bite and enamel, your dentist reviews photos, scans and shade information to see what is happening.
If you want your natural teeth lighter, this is the time to do it, with shade matching held until the colour has stabilized.
Colour is only one part of the picture, so width, length and texture are planned along with the shade you have chosen.
Shade is reviewed along with fit and bite. Only after that are the veneers bonded into place and finished.
It helps to know what you have used already and how your teeth responded, even if the results were disappointing or the product came from a store.
Please mention any sensitivity you noticed during whitening, so it can be part of your conversation with the dentist.
Consultation and waiting spaces at Winnipeg North Dental.
Discoloured teeth can make people cover their mouth when they laugh or avoid being in pictures. Your dentist has to look closely to help you, and there is no judgment attached to what they see.
Yellow, grey, patchy or just not right are all useful descriptions, so use whichever words feel natural.
Take your time looking at shades with a mirror, and tell us if an option feels too bright for you.
If your teeth reacted to whitening or cold, let us know so you can discuss your comfort needs before treatment.
Keeping the colour you chose
Each material ages in its own way, and the surrounding teeth continue to change too. These habits help you stay on top of how your smile looks.
Composite may gradually stain or dull and might benefit from polishing, whereas porcelain is highly polished ceramic with stronger colour stability.
If you plan to lighten your natural teeth later, talk to us first, as your veneers were matched to the earlier shade.
Good oral hygiene and regular examinations protect the natural tooth around each veneer, which can still develop decay.
If a veneer starts to look different from its neighbours, let us take a look.

Helpful details about veneers in Amber Trails.
Ask our teamWhitening does not produce the desired colour change in every case, and your dentist would need to examine the teeth to comment on yours. An assessment can also reveal whether another option is worth considering.
When you want your natural teeth lighter, whitening is commonly done first. Once the colour has stabilized, veneers or bonding can be matched to the result.
That depends on the material. Porcelain offers strong colour stability, and composite resin is more prone to staining or losing its polish as time passes.
Possibly, as veneers are placed on selected teeth. Matching one tooth to its neighbours takes careful shade work, and the health of that particular tooth has to be assessed first.
Shade is planned around what you want along with your facial proportions and available space. A preview and a frank discussion can help you judge whether a lighter shade would look right on you.
Send a request through this page or dial (204) 338-3003. Appointments are held at our McPhillips Street clinic, and a staff member will follow up to arrange the time.
Depending on what is causing the discolouration, one of these treatments might deserve a closer look as well.
