Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Old Kildonan Residents

Before you choose a treatment, it makes sense to ask what living with it will be like. Resin, porcelain, whitened enamel and straightened teeth each come with their own upkeep.

The years after treatment

Every result has some maintenance.

Cosmetic work tends to be discussed in terms of how it looks on the final day, yet you will be living with it far longer than that. Whitening fades gradually with coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, plaque and natural aging. Composite can chip, stain or lose its polish. Porcelain holds colour strongly, though chips may be hard to repair invisibly, and retainers remain part of life after orthodontics. For Old Kildonan residents weighing these options, upkeep can be as useful a comparison as appearance.

Natural teeth still need looking after too. A veneer itself cannot decay, but the tooth beneath it can develop decay at the margins, so brushing, interdental cleaning and regular examinations carry on as before. A reshaped edge that later feels rough should be assessed for wear or a chip. No material has a fixed lifespan, so ask what would affect it in your own mouth.

Habits play a part

Biting nails, opening packages and chewing hard objects can all shorten the working life of bonded edges.

Retention does not end

Teeth can keep moving throughout life, so retainers are worn as prescribed for as long as you want to hold the result.

Examinations carry on

Regular check-ups keep watch on the natural tooth around any restoration, including the edges that are hard to see.

Asking the long-range questions

Plan for the maintenance, too.

A good assessment looks further than the first result. These stages give you room to raise long-term questions.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Old Kildonan.

Ask our team
How often do touch-ups come up after whitening?

It varies with your diet, tobacco use and plaque, along with natural aging, because colour can gradually return. Occasional touch-ups may be appropriate, and you can ask what makes sense for you.

Does bonded resin need replacing eventually?

It can, although there may be simpler steps first. Staining or roughness may respond to professional refinishing, and small repairs are often possible. Location, bite and habits all influence how long it serves.

What affects the lifespan of porcelain veneers?

Bite, grinding, hygiene, material and daily habits all influence chipping, debonding, staining and replacement. There is no set number of years, so treat any fixed figure with caution.

How long will I wear a retainer?

Follow what has been prescribed for you, keeping in mind that teeth can move throughout life. Without retainers worn as directed, your teeth may gradually shift away from where treatment placed them.

What cleaning changes after cosmetic treatment?

Mostly your usual routine continues, with brushing and cleaning between teeth protecting the natural tooth beside any resin or porcelain. Aligner wearers also keep their trays clean and store them in a case.

Do coffee and tea affect all of these treatments equally?

No. Natural teeth and composite resin are both prone to picking up stain, while porcelain has strong colour stability. Tobacco and red wine can make differences more noticeable over time as well.

Can Old Kildonan residents book a visit about upkeep alone?

You can ask for that. Call (204) 338-3003 or send the form, and tell the clinic what you would like reviewed. Care happens at our Winnipeg clinic, and you will hear back about a time.

Looking further ahead?

Choose with the long term in mind.

Old Kildonan residents can ask about an assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic and bring questions on upkeep. Look for a reply from the clinic on scheduling.
