The short version

Veneer Planning at Our Winnipeg North Clinic

Winnipeg North Dental sits on McPhillips Street, on the north side of the city. If you live in Winnipeg North and have been curious about veneers, this page sets out plainly what we do here and in what order.

Veneers are thin coverings for the fronts of selected teeth, and they may be porcelain or composite. Getting them right is mostly a matter of planning, so expect to spend time on records and design decisions before any tooth is touched.

One address for every stage

Consultation, records, preparation and bonding visits are all held at our McPhillips Street clinic.

See the direction first

Proposed shapes may be previewed digitally or on a model before you agree to any preparation.

A clear order of events

Knowing what comes after each visit makes a multi-stage treatment much easier to plan around.

Two halves of the work

Most of the effort comes before bonding.

It helps to think of veneer care as a design phase followed by a clinical phase. What you decide in the first shapes everything in the second.

The design phase

Here the aim is to agree what should change, and to judge that against your face and your bite rather than one tooth in isolation.

  • Discuss your goals, then examine your bite and enamel.
  • Take photographs, scans and shade records as needed.
  • Assess lip movement, midline, gum levels and tooth display.
  • Evaluate suggested shapes and proportions together.

The clinical phase

Once a design is settled, the steps depend on the material. Porcelain is made outside the mouth, while composite is built up directly on the tooth.

  • Adjust enamel only as far as the design requires.
  • Make the veneers from a scan or impression, or sculpt them chairside.
  • Confirm fit, colour and bite contacts before securing them.
  • Finish the surfaces once they are bonded in place.

The number of visits varies with the material and the scope of the plan, so ask about this at your consultation.

Stage by stage

What each appointment is for.

No two plans are identical, but this outline shows the usual progression for someone who goes ahead with cosmetic veneers.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Consultation

    Show us what you would like to be different. Your dentist checks whether your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic work to be considered.

  2. 02

    Records

    Images and bite information are collected so the design can be built on real measurements of your mouth, not guesswork.

  3. 03

    Design review

    You look over the proposed direction, digitally or on a model, and say what feels right or what seems off.

  4. 04

    Preparation

    Where needed, a measured amount of enamel is removed to make room for the veneer and define its edges.

  5. 05

    Bonding

    After a last check of how each veneer fits, matches and meets the opposing teeth, it is secured and polished.

Ahead of your first visit

A little groundwork helps.

Nothing elaborate is required. A few details about your history let the consultation go straight to the question you came with.

When you call, feel free to ask how long a consultation usually takes and how estimates are handled for cosmetic care.

Worth having with you

  • Your current medications and an update on your general health.
  • Details of insurance or CDCP, if you have either.
  • The name of your previous dental office, in case records are needed.
  • Notes on any past cosmetic work, including whitening.

Inside the clinic

Know the room before you’re in the chair.

Some people find a treatment goes more easily when nothing about it is a surprise. Ask to have any stage described ahead of time, including what will be done to your enamel.

Preview each stage

Request a walk-through of what is planned for the day, so you know what is coming before work begins.

Raise sensitivity or worry

If you have tender teeth or a history of nervous visits, say so, and we can talk over what would make things easier.

Ask for a break

Let us know if you would like a pause at any point during your appointment.

When treatment wraps up

Keep your new smile on our radar.

Veneers join the rest of your dental care rather than replacing it. Here is what stays on your list after the last bonding visit.

01

Home care for the whole tooth

Natural tooth remains at the edges of every veneer, so brushing and interdental cleaning matter just as much as before.

02

Routine exams

Continuing with your examinations gives your dentist a regular look at the veneers, the margins and your gums.

03

A number to call

For a chipped or loosened veneer, phone (204) 338-3003 instead of sending the form, and let the clinic advise you.

If you notice something that seems different with your bite, mention it to us.

Your questions, answered.

Helpful details about veneers in Winnipeg North.

Ask our team
Do you offer veneers at your Winnipeg North clinic?

Yes. Cosmetic veneers are planned and placed at our McPhillips Street location. To ask about a consultation, call (204) 338-3003 or submit the request form.

How many visits will I need for veneers?

That depends on the material and how much is being changed. Porcelain usually involves separate planning, preparation, fabrication and bonding visits, whereas composite is often done in a more direct workflow.

Do I see my new smile before it’s finished?

A preview may be used to judge the proposed shape and proportions, either digitally or using a model. It shows a direction, and fit and colour are confirmed again before the final bonding.

What records are taken?

Typically photos, scans, shade information and bite records, although exactly what is needed will depend on your plan. Together they document your starting point and guide the design.

Can I get veneers if I have gum inflammation right now?

Veneer results depend on stable gums, so inflammation generally has to be addressed through another plan before cosmetic work is considered. Your dentist can tell you where you stand after an examination.

Should I wait to see you if a veneer comes loose?

Please do not leave it. Telephone the clinic instead of using the online form, and explain what happened.
