If you enjoy strongly coloured drinks, it’s fair to wonder how a veneer’s shade would hold up. North Kildonan is in Winnipeg, and residents with this question can raise it at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
The two veneer materials respond differently to everyday colour. Porcelain is a highly polished ceramic that keeps its colour strongly. Composite is a natural-looking resin that may pick up stain or lose its polish as the years go by, though it can often be refreshed more simply.
One thing many people overlook: only the covered surfaces are restored. The natural teeth beside them, and those further back, carry on behaving as they always have. A North Kildonan patient who loves coffee should therefore think about the whole row, as well as the veneers themselves.

Ceramic and resin don’t take up colour in the same way, so ask how each suits you.
Untreated teeth can darken or stain while the restorations next to them stay put.
Any whitening is commonly finished before a veneer colour is selected.
Neither material ranks first for every smile. Colour stability is one consideration among several, and it has to be weighed along with repairability, preparation and what your teeth need.
A fabricated ceramic restoration tends to hold its polish well, with some other trade-offs to consider.
Directly layered resin looks natural and is simpler to adjust, but its surface asks for more attention.
Your dentist can talk through how these differences apply once your bite and enamel have been assessed.
Colour runs through the entire veneer sequence. These stages show when it comes up, and what you may want to raise on each occasion.
Request your visitMention what you drink and whether you smoke, so that the material discussion reflects your real daily life.
If you would like lighter natural teeth, sort that out ahead of matching any restoration.
Along with photographs, scans and a bite record, shade information sets the reference for the design.
A model or digital proposal covers proportions and shape, which also affect how a colour reads in your smile.
Colour is checked along with fit and bite, and enamel is prepared only to the extent that the plan requires.
Consider how much coffee, tea, red wine or other strongly coloured food you actually have in a typical week. Knowing this makes it easier to ask a useful question about the upkeep each material would involve.
You may also wish to ask which home products suit each material, as polish and surface can respond differently.

You won’t be expected to give up every pleasure for the sake of your teeth. A candid description of your habits simply helps the conversation stay realistic about how your smile may age.
Ask to see colours in the light of the room, and against your own teeth.
Find out which of your habits are likely to make a difference and which may not.
If you can’t decide between materials, ask for time rather than feeling pushed.
Holding on to a good colour
No restoration eliminates upkeep. What you do each day, and the attention your teeth get during professional visits, both play a part in how they look later on.
Ask what is advisable after coloured drinks, and which toothpastes suit the material on your teeth.
If composite begins to look flat or marked, ask whether polishing could help.
Regular examinations can pick up staining and also margins that need attention, wherever they are in your mouth.
Colour is rarely urgent, but a fractured tooth or strong pain warrants a phone call in place of the form.

Helpful details about veneers in North Kildonan.
Ask our teamAsk what your dentist suggests for your material. Coffee matters more for resin and for natural teeth, because well-polished ceramic holds its colour strongly.
Often it can be improved, since resin allows polishing or localized additions. How much improvement depends on the surface, so have it looked at.
Whitening is meant for natural teeth, which is why shade decisions come first. If a restoration’s colour no longer suits you, ask what could be done about that one.
That can happen, since only covered surfaces are restored. Let the dentist know how the difference looks to you and ask what could address it.
Not always, as resin can lose polish without any structural problem. A dark line at an edge deserves examination, though, because decay can develop at margins.
Mention smoking when you discuss materials, because surface staining and gum health both come into it. The dentist can weigh that alongside your other findings.
Ask at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, by calling (204) 338-3003 or sending the appointment form. The clinic replies to you to arrange a visit.
