It is hard to agree to something you cannot picture. Inkster Gardens residents can ask us how a veneer design may be previewed at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Some people can hear a description of a tooth shape and imagine it right away. Others need something to look at before they can tell whether they like it. If you belong to the second group and you live in Inkster Gardens, it may reassure you to know that visual records are a normal part of planning veneers.
Photographs, scans and shade records can establish how your teeth look today. From there, a proposed shape and proportion may be evaluated digitally or on a model. A preview is a planning tool and not an exact copy of the finished work, but it gives you something real to react to at our Winnipeg clinic.

Photos and scans give you and your dentist a shared reference for how things look now.
A digital or model preview turns abstract talk about shape into something you can look at.
Adjusting a design is far simpler while it exists only as a plan and your enamel is untouched.
Planning materials fall broadly into two categories: records of your teeth as they are, and proposals for how they could look.
These capture your current teeth and smile, so that planning is grounded in how your mouth really looks and functions.
With those records in hand, a suggested change can be shown to you, so that your comments can feed into the plan.
A preview shows a direction, and the finished veneers may look slightly different in material, light and colour, so ask what yours can and cannot show.
Visual planning comes before any change to your teeth. This is broadly where it fits among the stages of treatment.
Request your visitHowever vague it feels, describe what you imagine, and which parts of your smile should still be recognizably yours.
Your bite and enamel are examined, and the records your plan requires are taken.
Look through what has been suggested, digitally or on a model, and speak up about anything that seems off to you.
When the direction feels right, enamel is altered only to the extent the design and chosen material call for.
Before the veneers are secured, fit, colour and bite are all checked. Use a mirror and look carefully while there is still time.
If you tend to think in pictures, it helps to arrive with a few images in mind. Pay attention to the proportions and shapes that catch your eye, not just the colour.
Your own teeth, lips and face set limits on any design, so outside images work as conversation starters and not as targets.
A treatment room with a monitor, and our waiting area.
Seeing close-up photos of your own teeth can feel uncomfortable at first, as nobody normally sees themselves in that much detail. Feel free to say so, and to step back and look at the overall effect.
Viewing before-and-proposed images together can make a small difference much easier to judge.
If you are not sure about a design, ask whether you could think it over before going further.
There is no need for dental vocabulary, since too square or too long is perfectly useful feedback.
After the real thing is in
Having looked so closely at your smile during planning, you may be well placed to notice changes later. That can be helpful for your care.
A picture taken soon after treatment can be a handy reference if you later wonder whether something has changed.
Inflamed gums alter how a smile looks, so careful brushing and interdental cleaning help protect its frame.
New staining, a dull patch or a tiny chip is worth raising, either at your examination or with a call to the clinic.
If something looks different but you cannot quite say how, you can still bring it up at your next appointment.

Helpful details about veneers in Inkster Gardens.
Ask our teamIt shows a proposed direction, not a final result. Real materials can look somewhat different in your mouth and under different lighting, so treat the preview as a way of reviewing shape and proportion.
Neither suits every case. Each is a way of evaluating proposed shapes and proportions. Ask which one would be used in your planning, and what you would be able to see from it.
That is much of the reason to look at it in advance. Tell your dentist what you would like different, and ask what your teeth, bite and available space would allow.
Please put that question to the clinic directly, so that you hear exactly how photos and other records are stored and used before any are taken.
Shade records are part of the process, and you take part in choosing. Ask to see options against your own teeth and in the mirror, as that may be easier to judge.
Yes, phone (204) 338-3003 with your question or leave a note on the request form. Planning itself happens in person, at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
After seeing a preview, you may decide you want a different kind of change altogether. These pages explain some of those options.
