Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Aurora Residents

If ice water already makes you wince, you may have written off cosmetic care altogether. Find out what is behind the reaction, and what could still suit you, at our McPhillips Street clinic.

Sensitivity is information

Understand the twinge before choosing a treatment.

Sensitive teeth can have several explanations, including exposed roots, cracks and cavities. Some of these need attention before anything elective, partly because whitening gel can aggravate sensitivity that has not been treated. Once the cause is clearer, the choices become easier to weigh.

A slower or lower-strength whitening protocol may feel more comfortable, and some treatments do not involve peroxide at all. Care for Aurora residents takes place at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where you can describe exactly what sets your teeth off.

Causes come first

Recession, a leaking restoration or a crack may explain the reaction, and those are looked at before cosmetic work.

Gel can be adjusted

Concentration, contact time and how often you apply it can all change if your teeth respond strongly.

Not all options use peroxide

Bonding and reshaping change form rather than shade, so they raise different comfort questions.

Mapping the reaction

Tell us what makes your teeth react.

Details help here. Cold drinks, sweets and brushing can each point in a different direction.

  1. 01

    Note your triggers

    Let the clinic know which teeth react and how long the feeling lingers, and whether a store-bought product ever made it worse.

  2. 02

    Have the source looked for

    Your teeth and gums are examined for cavities, cracks, recession and inflammation, since any of these may need care ahead of cosmetic work.

  3. 03

    Weigh the comfortable options

    With findings in hand, you can talk about pacing whitening differently or choosing a treatment that leaves tooth colour alone.

Ask our team
Will whitening always hurt if my teeth are sensitive?

Not always. Temporary sensitivity is common and its intensity varies between people. Depending on the cause, a gentler approach may be possible, or another issue may need treatment first.

How would take-home trays differ for me?

Custom trays hold prescribed gel for a directed period, and progress builds over multiple applications. That pacing offers more control, which some sensitive patients appreciate.

What should I do if a tray session really stings?

Pause when you have been directed to, resist adding more gel, and report any sharp or lingering pain to the clinic so the protocol can be reconsidered.

Do I feel anything when enamel is contoured?

Enamel has no nerve supply, so local anaesthetic is often unnecessary. Speak up right away if you notice sensitivity, because that is a signal to stop and reassess.

Could aligners bother teeth that are already tender?

Trays apply controlled pressure to move teeth gradually. Share your history at the assessment so the dentist can consider it alongside your teeth, gums and bite.

Can my teeth still be whitened if the roots are exposed?

Exposed roots are one of the things that influence the protocol. They need to be seen before anyone recommends a product strength or a schedule.

Whom do Aurora residents contact about this?
