Liking the idea of veneers is one thing, and sitting in a dental chair is another. Templeton-Sinclair residents can begin with a talk at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Some people have thought about changing their smile for years, yet never made the call because the dental part puts them off. Drills, numbness, or a bad memory from childhood can outweigh the appeal of a new look. If that sounds like you, and you happen to live in Templeton-Sinclair, you are not being silly.
Knowing the order of events often takes some of the edge off. Veneer care begins with talking and records, and a good deal of it happens before any tooth is touched. At our Winnipeg clinic you can tell us what worries you at the outset, so it becomes part of the planning.
Explore veneers
Your goals and worries are discussed before any preparation of your teeth is considered.
Ask for each step to be described ahead of time, so you know what is coming next.
Anxiety is useful information for your dentist, and there is no need to hide it or apologize.
It can help to separate the stages that involve looking and recording from the stages that involve changing a tooth.
Much of the early work is a matter of gathering information about your smile and deciding on a direction together.
The later visits are where the teeth are worked on. How much is involved depends on the design and the material selected.
Because preparation permanently changes a tooth, it is sensible to feel settled about the plan before that stage arrives.
Treatment is more approachable when you can see it laid out. These are the usual stages of veneer care, described with a nervous patient in mind.
Request your visitThis stage asks you only to talk. Say what you would like to change, and be open about what makes dental visits difficult.
Photos, scans and shade matching give a starting point. Feel free to ask what each record is for before it is taken.
You review a proposed shape, on screen or on a model, and give your reaction while nothing has yet been altered.
Before enamel is changed, you should understand how much is planned. If you are not ready, say so and ask what your options are.
The dentist checks the fit, colour and bite, then secures and finishes the veneers once these are satisfactory.
Dental anxiety is not one single feeling. Knowing whether your concern is the sounds, the needle, the feeling of having no control or something else entirely gives us a much clearer idea of how to talk with you.
It is fine to write your concerns down and hand them over if saying them aloud feels awkward.
Reception and the consultation room at our clinic.
Nobody expects you to arrive feeling calm. What makes a difference is telling us early, so that we can talk over what might make the appointment easier to manage.
Before treatment begins, find out how to let the dentist know you need a moment.
If injections or freezing worry you, bring that up so you can hear what is planned for your visit.
Ask if you can look at the treatment room ahead of time, in case it would help to know the space.
After the hard part
Once veneers are placed, what they need from you is mostly everyday care and routine check-ins, which many nervous patients find far less daunting.
Regular examinations keep small concerns small, which also reduces the chance of an unexpected dental problem later.
The tooth beneath a veneer can still decay at its margins, so daily brushing and cleaning between teeth remain important.
A chip or a looser feel can be frightening if left to the imagination. A phone call lets you find out what is needed.
Telling us how the earlier appointments felt is useful, as it helps shape the conversation at your next visit.

Helpful details about veneers in Templeton-Sinclair.
Ask our teamExperiences vary with the material and how much preparation is involved. Tell your dentist what you are worried about, and ask what will be done to keep you comfortable at each appointment.
The first conversation is about your goals, your bite and your enamel. Preparation comes later in the sequence, so there is an opportunity to think things over and ask questions before then.
It depends on the case. Many veneers need some enamel removed, and the amount varies with position, material and design. Your dentist can explain what your teeth would need.
Composite is built up directly on the tooth, often with a simpler sequence depending on the scope. Whether it suits you depends on your teeth and goals, so raise it during your consultation.
No. Any decay or gum inflammation would need attention before veneers are considered, and that is an ordinary part of planning. Nobody is there to scold you for time away.
