Sometimes what looks like a tooth problem begins at the gum line. Brooklands residents can have both looked at together when planning veneers at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
You might describe your concern as one tooth being too short, or your teeth looking uneven. Sometimes the tooth itself is not the cause. Gums frame the top of every front tooth, and differences in their height can change how long or balanced a smile appears.
Veneers change tooth surfaces and do not reposition gum tissue, so the two need to be considered together. If you live in Brooklands and have noticed this in your own smile, an examination at our Winnipeg clinic can help sort out which part is responsible.
Explore veneers
Inflammation needs attention before cosmetic restorations are bonded to the teeth.
Gum height contributes to the rhythm of a smile as much as width and length do.
Where a veneer ends near the gum is an area that deserves daily attention.
A veneer may help if the tooth’s shape is the concern, while a difference in gum level raises other questions. Often the assessment considers both before recommending anything.
Some unevenness comes from the visible tooth itself, and restorative changes may be worth discussing.
Tissue can make teeth appear uneven, and that can call for a different conversation before veneers are designed.
Whether gum contouring or any other gum care applies to you is something only an examination can determine.
Gum level is one of several things reviewed when a smile is designed. Here is the general order in which that work takes place.
Request your visitShow your dentist where things look uneven, and mention whether the gums ever bleed or feel sore.
Your gums, enamel, bite and any decay are examined, since these determine what can happen next.
Photographs and scans help capture gum levels, tooth display and the midline, while shade and bite details complete the file.
A digital or model design can show how width, length and gum level relate within your smile.
Any preparation follows the design that was agreed. Once fit, colour and bite pass their checks, the veneers can be bonded.
Lift your upper lip gently in a mirror and compare the left side with the right. You are not diagnosing anything, just building a clearer sense of what catches your eye.
If your gums bleed when you brush, tell us about it when you get in touch.
Our consultation room and a treatment room.
People often feel embarrassed about gums that show a lot or look uneven, and may smile with their lips closed because of it. You can say that plainly, and we can talk about what is behind it.
If particular areas of gum are sore, say so before they are examined.
Find out which findings concern health and which are simply about appearance.
If gum care comes first, ask how that changes the timing of later cosmetic work.
Keeping the frame healthy
Veneers rely on healthy surroundings. Keeping up your home care and examinations helps look after the tissue around each tooth, whether it is treated or not.
The place where tooth and gum meet is easy to miss, so ask to be shown how to brush it.
Interdental cleaning reaches surfaces and margins that a toothbrush can miss around veneers.
Bleeding, swelling or a veneer edge that has become visible is worth raising at the clinic.
Sudden gum swelling or pain is a reason to call the clinic and not wait for your next visit.

Helpful details about veneers in Brooklands.
Ask our teamA veneer covers the visible tooth surface and does not move gum tissue. Gum levels do affect planning, though, so your dentist will look at how they relate to the design and whether something else may help.
It reshapes gum tissue to change how much of a tooth shows. It is not needed in every case. Whether it could suit you, and in what order, would be discussed after an assessment.
Inflammation may need attention before moving forward, since stable gums are part of a sound starting point for veneers. Your dentist can explain the care involved and when cosmetic planning could resume.
Margin position and shade are planned, but gums and natural teeth can change over time. Ask how your margins would be designed, and mention it if you notice an edge later on.
Good fit and thorough cleaning around the margins are important for gum health. Tell your dentist if you notice soreness or bleeding near a restoration so it can be looked at.
