Will veneers give me a lisp?+
It is a fair concern, and it is hard to predict without looking at your teeth. Edge position, thickness and your own speech all matter. Raise it during planning, and report any change you notice after treatment.
How quickly does a new veneer stop feeling strange?+
People vary, and your tongue may take time to get used to a new shape. If the feeling persists or speech remains affected, contact the clinic so the fit and contours can be looked at.
Can a preview tell me how I’ll sound?+
A preview is mainly used to evaluate shape and proportion. Ask whether the type used in your case can tell you anything about speech, and what its limits would be.
Which teeth show the most when I’m talking?+
That varies with your lips and tooth position. Your dentist can observe it directly, and it could affect which teeth are worth considering.
I play a wind instrument. Does that matter?+
It could, since pressure on front teeth and the position of their edges may be relevant. Tell your dentist what you play and how it sits against your teeth, so it can be included in the assessment.
How can a Weston resident ask about speech and veneers?+
Phone (204) 338-3003 or make a request on this page, and mention your speech concern. The clinic on McPhillips Street will then follow up about a consultation.
