Flattened edges can make a person curious about veneers, yet the habit that wore them down still matters. St. Andrews lies outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents exploring this come in to our McPhillips Street clinic for assessment and care.
Let's find a time
Grinding and clenching can shorten front teeth over time, and it is natural to want that length back. A veneer is thin, though, and it sits where upper and lower teeth meet during chewing and at night. Grinding is among the things that influence whether one chips or lets go.
None of this rules veneers out automatically. It simply moves the bite to the top of the agenda. This page explains what gets looked at and what to raise, so that a person from St. Andrews arrives ready to talk about wear as well as appearance.
Explore veneers
Mention grinding or clenching early, even if you only suspect it happens while you sleep.
How your teeth contact each other helps decide whether a thin edge can be protected.
Bonding, orthodontics or a stronger restoration may suit some worn teeth better.
Restoring length is partly a design question and partly a mechanical one. These two lists separate what often leads people to ask from what could point elsewhere.
Certain changes in the appearance of front teeth are the kind of thing a veneer is sometimes considered for.
Some findings suggest that cosmetic shells alone would not address what is happening in the mouth.
Suitability rests on an in-person assessment of your enamel and bite, so treat these lists as a starting point for conversation.
The sequence below follows the usual veneer pathway, with extra attention to contact between the teeth at every stage.
Request your visitTell the dentist what has changed, what you would like back, and any jaw tightness or morning soreness you have noticed.
Photographs, scans, shade information and bite records document how your teeth look and meet today.
A digital or model preview lets you judge proposed proportions, while the dentist weighs them against your bite.
If you go ahead, enamel is altered only as far as the chosen design and material call for.
Colour, fit and how the teeth come together are confirmed before anything is secured and finished.
You may not be able to confirm a night-time habit by yourself, but small observations help. Think about whether you wake with a tired jaw, catch yourself clenching during the day, or have seen new chips appear.
Since you would be coming into Winnipeg, ask how many visits a porcelain or composite plan might take and what each one involves.
Black chairs around a white desk, and a navy bench below abstract artwork.
Grinding often happens without anyone realizing. You will not be scolded for tooth wear here. An honest description of your habits simply gives the dentist more to work with.
Jaw or tooth discomfort is useful information, so include it even when it seems minor.
Let someone know during an appointment if you need your jaw to rest for a moment.
Elective treatment leaves room to think over what you have heard before saying yes.
Protecting the result
Whatever material is placed, the forces that wore your natural teeth may still be present. Upkeep therefore includes watching for changes as well as keeping things clean.
Report a new rough spot, a chip or a change in how your teeth meet, so it can be examined.
Find out whether a protective appliance would be recommended in your case, and how it should be looked after.
Natural tooth remains at the margins, so brushing, interdental cleaning and check-ups carry on as before.
A sudden break or a veneer that has come off calls for a phone call, not the appointment form.

Helpful details about veneers in St. Andrews.
Ask our teamPossibly, but it cannot be settled from a description. Your enamel, the pattern of wear and the way your teeth meet all need examining before anyone can say.
Neither wins in every case. Porcelain chips can be difficult to mend invisibly, while composite often allows localized additions, so ask how each would behave against your particular bite.
Worn edges, a tired jaw on waking or small new chips can be hints. Raise whatever you have noticed so that your teeth can be looked at with that in mind.
That depends on your assessment. It is a sensible question to put to the dentist before you commit, especially if clenching has already marked your teeth.
For a heavily weakened tooth, yes, that may be the case. A veneer covers the visible surface and is not meant to rebuild a tooth that has lost much of its structure.
