A front tooth that has been through a lot may need more than a new surface. West Kildonan residents can have that question looked at on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Perhaps you have a front tooth with a large filling, an old break, or past root canal treatment, and you want it to look better. You may have heard the words veneer and crown used as if they meant roughly the same thing. They do not, and if you live in West Kildonan and are weighing them up, the difference is worth understanding.
A veneer covers the visible face of a tooth and relies on healthy enamel to hold on. A crown is a stronger restoration for a tooth that needs more support. At our clinic in Winnipeg, the condition of the tooth itself guides that choice, with appearance considered alongside it.

How much sound tooth remains matters more than which restoration sounds appealing.
A veneer depends on a healthy enamel surface, so the amount available is checked early on.
Whichever restoration suits the tooth, its shade and shape are planned to sit well beside its neighbours.
Both can change how a front tooth looks. They differ in how much of the tooth they cover and in what kind of tooth they suit.
This thin restoration suits a tooth that is basically sound but has a cosmetic problem on the part you see.
A heavily weakened tooth may need a restoration that does more than change its front surface.
Neither option is automatically the right one, and an examination of the actual tooth is what settles the matter.
The early visits are about the tooth itself. Only after that does the conversation turn to design details such as shade and proportion.
Request your visitShare what you know about past fillings, injuries or root canal treatment, along with what bothers you about how it looks.
The remaining enamel and the way your teeth meet are assessed, since both affect whether a shell could be expected to hold.
You hear which restorations are realistic for this tooth and why, including any treatment that would have to happen first.
Photos, scans and shade records can help plan the look, so that the finished tooth is considered as part of your smile.
If a veneer is chosen, enamel is altered only as the design requires, then fit, colour and bite are checked before bonding.
You do not need a full dental record to come in. Even a rough memory of what was done, and roughly when, gives us a useful starting point.
If the work was done at another clinic, you can ask us how previous records or X-rays might be obtained.
The consultation room and waiting area at our clinic.
Being told a tooth needs more than you expected can be unwelcome news. You are welcome to slow things down and ask why one restoration is being suggested over another.
Ask to have your photos or X-rays explained, so the advice makes sense to you.
Every restoration asks something of the tooth, and you can ask what each one would involve for yours.
A tooth with a difficult past can bring back unpleasant memories, so let us know if that is the case.
Once it’s restored
A restoration does not stop the natural tooth beneath it from being vulnerable. Regular care helps catch small changes around it.
Decay can begin where a restoration meets the tooth, so brush and clean between teeth with that margin in mind.
Regular visits allow someone to look at the tooth and its restoration, and at the teeth around them.
A restoration that shifts or feels different should prompt a phone call, so you can find out what needs doing.
If a tooth you have had restored starts to feel different, you can phone us to describe the change.

Helpful details about veneers in West Kildonan.
Ask our teamYou cannot really tell from looks alone. It comes down to how much healthy tooth remains, how much enamel is available, and how your teeth meet, all of which are assessed in an examination.
Not necessarily, but it is one of the situations that often calls for another plan. A heavily weakened tooth in particular may need something stronger, so this has to be judged tooth by tooth.
It raises questions rather than giving a firm no. The size and position of the filling, and the enamel left around it, all affect whether bonding a veneer would be a sensible idea.
A crown can also be planned with shade and shape in mind. Ask to talk through how either option might look beside your other teeth, since appearance is part of the decision.
Please phone the clinic rather than sending the online form. A recent break is a different conversation from cosmetic planning, and a call lets you explain what has happened.
