A small space, an uneven edge or one tooth that sits differently can catch your eye every time you smile. Seven Oaks residents can ask us on McPhillips Street what might help.
Let's find a time
Perhaps a gap has always been there, or one tooth looks shorter than the one beside it. Maybe you are in Seven Oaks and considering veneers because braces or aligners sound like more than you want to take on. It is reasonable to wonder whether a veneer could simply even things out.
Sometimes it can. Veneers may close small spaces, refine length and proportion, and improve symmetry. What they cannot do is move roots or correct the bite, so the size of the problem matters a lot. At our Winnipeg clinic, your dentist weighs the veneer route against moving the teeth instead.

Selected gaps and differences in proportion are among the concerns veneers are often considered for.
A veneer changes how a tooth appears from the front, while the root stays exactly where it is.
Closing one gap can affect the width of neighbouring teeth, so spacing is judged across your whole smile.
One approach changes the surface you see, and the other changes where the tooth sits. The right choice depends on how far your teeth are from where you would like them.
If the differences are modest and your bite is stable, adding to the visible surface of a tooth could be a practical way to balance things.
Where the position of a tooth is the real issue, orthodontic treatment may be the safer and more conservative choice.
Some patients may benefit from a combination of approaches. Your dentist can advise on this once your teeth and bite have been examined.
Uneven teeth are not assessed one at a time. These steps show how a spacing or proportion concern may be worked through if veneers are recommended.
Request your visitShow us the gap or tooth that draws your attention, and tell us when you first noticed it or whether it has changed.
Your bite is examined along with your enamel, because the contacts between upper and lower teeth affect what can be changed safely.
Photos and scans help show the centre of your smile, the gumline and how much tooth is displayed when you speak.
Revised widths and lengths are evaluated digitally or on a model, which can show how closing a space alters neighbouring teeth.
Enamel is changed only where the design requires it. After confirming bite, fit and colour, each veneer is secured and finished.
Take a few pictures of your smile from the front and from the side. It is often surprising which tooth you end up pointing at, and it gives the conversation a clear starting point.
If you have ever had braces or aligners, let us know whether your teeth have shifted since then.
Spaces for waiting and conversation at our clinic.
Nobody else may notice that slightly uneven tooth, yet you might think about it every day. That is a valid reason to ask questions, and you can do so without feeling that you need to justify it.
Ask how veneers and orthodontics differ for your specific teeth, including what each one could and could not change.
A mirror and your own photos can help you and your dentist talk about precisely the same thing.
Nervous about appointments, or sensitive to cold? Tell us, so we can discuss your comfort needs with you.
Holding on to the balance
Edges and closed spaces can be vulnerable in their own ways. A few habits, along with regular care, help you notice problems sooner.
Where a gap has been closed, ask how to clean between those teeth, and make interdental cleaning a daily routine.
Biting habits and grinding can influence how veneers chip or come loose over time, so raise any habits you are aware of.
Examinations provide a chance for your dentist to look at your veneers, how your teeth meet and whether anything has changed.
If something about your bite feels off after treatment, phone the clinic and describe what you are noticing.

Helpful details about veneers in Seven Oaks.
Ask our teamSmall spaces can sometimes be closed this way, depending on the gap’s size and how your teeth meet. A larger gap might make the teeth look too wide, so your dentist may suggest a different approach.
They may visually improve some minor alignment differences, but the roots stay put and your bite is not corrected. For significant crowding or rotation, orthodontics may be safer and more conservative.
There isn’t a universal answer because they do different things. One repositions teeth, the other changes their visible surface, and an assessment shows which suits your situation.
Possibly, if the movement is minor and your bite is stable. Your dentist would examine your teeth first and might suggest orthodontic options, particularly if the shifting has been significant.
A veneer can change a tooth’s visible length, although your dentist will need to consider the neighbouring teeth, your bite and whether the new edge would be protected.
Calling (204) 338-3003 is one way, and the form on this page is another. Consultations happen at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, at a time the clinic sets with you.
