If fillings have been a regular part of your dental life, you may wonder whether a veneer would hide trouble or invite more. Birds Hill residents, who live outside the City of Winnipeg, can ask about this at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
The veneer material does not decay. The natural tooth does, and a good portion of it stays exposed behind and around the restoration. Cavities can form where the veneer’s edge meets the tooth, or on any surface it does not cover.
So a cosmetic plan cannot replace the basics, and active decay is one of the things that may delay or redirect it. For a Birds Hill reader who has had cavities before, the helpful question is what must be treated first, and how the teeth will be kept healthy afterward.

Active cavities generally call for another plan before cosmetic work is considered.
The border between restoration and tooth is a place to keep particularly clean.
Brushing, interdental cleaning and examinations stay essential after bonding.
A veneer is an elective change to a tooth’s appearance. It rests on a foundation that needs to be sound, so its condition is reviewed before design begins.
An examination looks for anything that needs treating or could undermine a bonded restoration.
When the teeth are healthy enough, attention can turn to the changes you actually want to see.
Whether treatment can follow, and when, comes down to what your examination finds.
Some people will move straight to planning, while others may need treatment in between. This outline shows where a pause could occur.
Request your visitDescribe how often decay has been a problem and when your last check-up and X-rays took place.
Your enamel, gums and bite are examined, along with any existing restorations in the area.
If something active turns up, ask how it would be managed and how that changes the timing of veneers.
Photographs, scans and shade records feed a proposed design that you can view digitally or in a model.
Enamel is changed only where the design requires, and bite, colour and fit are checked before the final securing.
It is more useful to describe what really happens than an ideal version of it. Consider how often you clean between your teeth and whether anything, such as a dry mouth or a frequent snacking habit, seems to be part of the picture.
Because you would travel into Winnipeg, ask whether treatment of decay and cosmetic work would be separate visits, and how follow-up is usually handled.
A navy bench under two abstract paintings, and a desk in the consultation room.
Plenty of people feel embarrassed about their dental record. Your history is there to guide planning, and describing it openly gives the dentist a truer picture of your teeth.
If earlier treatment has left you uneasy, the person treating you should hear about it.
Request a plain account of what was seen on each tooth, and why it matters.
A pause for health reasons does not mean your cosmetic hopes are off the table for good.
Keeping decay away
Veneers change the appearance of a tooth but do nothing to protect it from bacteria at the margin. Ongoing care therefore looks a lot like what you were already told to do.
Pay attention to the line where veneer and tooth meet, and use whatever interdental aid has been advised.
Decay at a margin may not be visible to you, so professional checks stay on the calendar.
Tell the clinic about a dark line, sensitivity or an edge that feels different when you run your tongue along it.
Pain that comes on quickly, or a damaged tooth, is a reason to telephone rather than fill in the form.

Helpful details about veneers in Birds Hill.
Ask our teamThe restoration cannot, yet the tooth it covers still can. Decay may start at the margin or on a surface left uncovered, so the same care remains important.
A past pattern does not settle the question by itself, but current decay would need addressing. The dentist looks at your present condition before saying whether veneers suit you.
No. Its purpose is cosmetic and it covers only part of the tooth. If a tooth is heavily weakened, you may be advised to look at a stronger restoration instead.
Often it is not, which is one reason regular examinations matter. Mention any change you notice, including new sensitivity or a darkening edge.
Brushing and interdental cleaning remain the routine. Ask at your appointment which particular aids would suit your teeth and any spaces between them.
