Get Dental Veneers for That Hollywood A-List Smile in Winnipeg
Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile? Do you avoid laughing or smiling in public, concerned about how your teeth look? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, dental veneers may be the ideal solution for you.
At Renew Dental in Winnipeg, we specialize in transforming smiles with our state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry services, particularly through the use of high-quality porcelain veneers. These thin, custom-made shells can help you achieve the radiant and confident Hollywood smile you’ve always desired.
What problems can be solved with dental veneers?
A dental veneer is a thin covering that goes over the front part of your tooth to improve its appearance and alignment in your mouth. Generally, when a patient comes to me and asks for veneers, they usually want to improve the look of their teeth. With veneers, we can change the color and shape of the tooth. We can sometimes correct mild crowding if you have teeth that are slightly overlapping.
Additionally, veneers can slightly change the position of the teeth so that they align better when you bite, providing a more natural-looking smile.
Why Choose Dental Veneers at Renew Dental?
As a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry, dental veneers offer a multitude of benefits that can significantly improve your smile appearance. Here’s how these incredible aesthetic solutions can transform not just your teeth, but also your self-esteem:
- Corrects Chipped or Broken Teeth: Dental veneers provide a seamless solution for damaged teeth, covering imperfections and restoring your smile’s integrity.
- Improves the Appearance of Stained or Discolored Teeth: If you’ve struggled with teeth whitening that doesn’t deliver lasting results, veneers can achieve a vibrant, even color that resists stains more effectively than natural enamel.
- Closes Gaps Between Teeth: Gaps or spaces in your teeth can detract from a perfect smile. With dental veneers, gap closure is easily attainable, giving you a uniform and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Aligns Crooked or Misaligned Teeth: If you suffer from misaligned teeth but aren’t ready for braces, veneers can instantly provide crooked teeth alignment without the need for lengthy orthodontic treatments.
- Restores Worn Down or Uneven Teeth: Over time, wear and tear can leave your teeth looking uneven or shortened. Porcelain veneers can restore their original shape and size, giving you a balanced appearance.
- Enhances Teeth That Are Too Small: If you feel your teeth are disproportionately small, veneers can add the perfect amount of length and volume to enhance your smile while still looking natural.
- Fast and Painless Alternative to Other Cosmetic Procedures: Unlike other treatments, such as crowns or orthodontics, getting dental veneers is fast and relatively painless. The procedure typically requires minimal invasiveness, so patients can enjoy a beautiful smile with limited downtime.
- Instant Transformation: With veneers, you can achieve an A-list smile in no time, making it possible to reveal your best self for special occasions or everyday life.
The Importance of Dental Aesthetics
Improving your smile appearance goes beyond aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in your overall oral health and well-being. Many patients find that addressing their cosmetic issues with dental veneers leads to an increase in self-esteem and confidence, enhancing their quality of life and social interactions. Moreover, a beautiful smile can have a positive impact on both personal and professional opportunities, helping you feel proud to showcase your teeth.
Are veneers permanent or removable?
We generally don't like to use the term permanent because nothing lasts forever, but a veneer is considered a final treatment.
This generally means a veneer will last about 10 to 15 years before you start noticing differences in color, usually because the tooth underneath is getting darker, or you might experience chipping or slight breakage, necessitating replacement. It is a longer-term treatment option, but it's not something that typically lasts a lifetime.
What should I expect during the process of getting my veneers done?
Generally, with veneers, we're looking at about three appointments, depending on the type of veneers. The first appointment involves diagnosing and planning. We'll take records of your teeth to send to a lab for planning your case.
The next appointment is the preparation appointment, where we prepare your teeth for the veneers. We'll also take a scan or impression of your teeth to send to the lab to start making your veneers. You'll leave with a temporary veneer that resembles the final result but isn't as strong as the lab-made material.
After about a week or two, once the lab has completed your case, we'll remove the temporary veneers, cement on your permanent ones, make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper alignment, and then you're all set with your new veneers.
Will veneers match the color of my teeth?
This really depends on you as the patient. If you like the color of your teeth, we can match the veneers closely to that color.
However, some patients want a brighter, whiter smile, which is often why they're getting veneers. In such cases, we can enhance the whiteness of your smile so your teeth appear much brighter and have a more appealing look with the new veneers.
What are the benefits and cons of porcelain and composite veneers?
There are generally two types of veneers: porcelain and composite. Patients often ask about the benefits and drawbacks of each option.
Composite veneers: use a composite material, similar to plastic, that's applied inside your mouth. The main benefit is the lower cost since a lab and high-end materials like porcelain aren't involved. However, composites don't offer the same level of aesthetics as porcelain and tend to look less natural. They also don't last as long and are more prone to staining and chipping. Composite veneers generally need replacement every 10 years.
Porcelain veneers: considered the gold standard, are stronger and offer higher aesthetics as they're made in a lab. They generally last 10 to 15 years, possibly longer, and provide a more natural look. The downside is the higher cost, but the results are usually more satisfying for patients.
How long will it take to place veneers on my teeth?
The time required depends on how many teeth we're treating. For a simple case involving six to eight front veneers, it usually involves a couple of appointments lasting about an hour and a half to two hours each.
More involved cases, such as those aiming to significantly whiten the smile involving both top and bottom teeth, might require additional appointments and time.
Do dental veneers require special care?
Veneers, like any treatment, require proper hygiene care. Brush twice a day for two minutes and floss at night to remove plaque and bacteria around the veneers, preventing cavities and other issues.
Be careful with what you chew, as veneers, while strong, can chip. Avoid biting hard into foods like apples or corn on the cob, and instead, chew more towards the back to extend their lifespan.
Regular cleanings are also recommended to remove bacteria and calculus, preventing cavities and other issues.
How long will my veneers last?
Composite veneers typically last 7 to 10 years before they start picking up stains and require replacement. Porcelain veneers usually last 10 to 15 years, possibly longer, depending on how well you've maintained them and whether you've avoided hard foods.
What is the cost of veneers and is there financing available?
The cost of veneers depends on the individual case, including the number of teeth involved. During the initial diagnosis, we'll discuss your desired results and provide an individualized quote.
Financing is available, and many patients opt for it to afford their treatment. We can assist with the application process to determine your eligibility for financing.

Will my insurance cover a portion of the treatment?
Insurance generally doesn't cover veneers or any cosmetic treatment. Coverage is usually limited to treatments addressing disease, such as fillings for cavities or crowns for cracked teeth. Unfortunately, since veneers are cosmetic, insurance generally doesn't cover them.
When should I schedule an appointment to get veneers?
If you are unhappy with your smile or have chipped or breaking teeth, it's better to address the issue promptly. Waiting can worsen problems. Acting sooner can preserve more of the tooth structure and may result in less invasive treatment, which will be more predictable long-term.
