Veneers need to function as well as they look. North End Winnipeg residents can have their bite and habits reviewed with a veneer plan at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
It is easy to think of veneers as purely cosmetic. Yet front teeth bite into food and touch the lower teeth many times a day, and those contacts place real demands on a thin restoration. If you are from the North End and worried about whether veneers could handle everyday use, your concern is a good one.
Contacts have to allow a restoration to function safely, which is why an assessment looks at more than colour and shape. Questions about whether your bite can protect a new edge are raised before preparation. An unstable bite may even point to a different plan, and our clinic can explain why that may be.

How your upper and lower teeth meet is considered from the start of the design work.
A veneer’s biting edge is planned so it can be protected by your bite as far as possible.
Telling us what your teeth go through each day helps make for a more realistic plan.
Chipping and debonding are influenced by how a veneer is used. Two things in particular therefore get a close look during planning.
A dentist looks at the contacts between your upper and lower teeth and how those contacts change as your jaw moves.
Beyond chewing, plenty of ordinary habits put pressure on the very edge of a front tooth.
A veneer cannot be promised to last any set time, as force is one of several factors that affect how it wears.
Bite considerations run through the whole treatment rather than appearing at a single point. This is where they tend to show up.
Request your visitAlong with your cosmetic hopes, describe any jaw soreness, grinding, or teeth that have chipped in the past.
Bite and enamel are assessed, and bite records may be taken with your photos, scans and shade information.
The proposed lengths and shapes are reviewed with both the look and the way your teeth come together in mind.
Enamel is altered only as required for the agreed design and material, which also has to account for your bite.
Beyond shade and fit, the way your teeth meet is reviewed before the veneers are secured and finished.
Many habits are so automatic that they go unnoticed. Paying attention for a little while, or asking someone you live with, may tell you more than you expected.
Grinding and clenching can happen during sleep, so you may not be aware of it even if it is taking place.
Our front counter and the consultation room.
People can feel sheepish admitting that they open packages with their teeth, or chew on pens. We would much rather know about these habits while the plan can still take them into account.
If your jaw clicks or aches, mention it, since it may be relevant to the assessment.
New edges can take getting used to, so ask what to expect and when to call.
You can ask how porcelain and composite compare when it comes to repair for a tooth like yours.
Everyday protection
Once veneers are in place, a few sensible habits can reduce avoidable stress on them. Your dentist can advise you on what matters for your bite.
Reach for scissors or a bottle opener instead, because prying forces can chip or dislodge a restoration.
If grinding is a known concern for you, ask whether a protective appliance would be sensible.
When teeth begin to meet differently, or an edge feels high or rough, give the clinic a call to describe it.
Your examinations can include a look at how the edges are wearing, so feel free to ask about them when you visit.

Helpful details about veneers in North End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamAsk your dentist about this once your plan is known, because the answer depends on your bite and the material. Hard foods bitten with the front teeth do put force on the edge.
Changes to the length or shape of front teeth can affect contacts, so these are assessed in planning and checked before bonding. Mention anything that feels different afterwards.
No. Veneers can alter how selected teeth look, but they do not move roots or correct the bite. Orthodontics or other treatment may need to be discussed for that kind of concern.
Not automatically, but it is worth saying so. Biting on hard objects can load the thin edge of a veneer, and your dentist can talk with you about how that might affect your plan.
Debonding means a veneer has separated from the tooth. Bite, grinding, habits, hygiene and maintenance all influence it. If it happens, call the clinic rather than using the form.
Yes, your care would take place at our clinic on McPhillips Street. To ask about it, call (204) 338-3003 or send the form here, and the clinic will arrange a time with you.
