One tooth that stands apart
Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Sinclair Park Residents
When a single tooth looks darker than its neighbours, the reason matters more than the shade. Have it examined at our McPhillips Street clinic before you settle on any cosmetic treatment.

Not the same as general staining
A lone dark tooth deserves its own diagnosis.
Whitening is planned around a whole smile, which is why a single darker tooth can be so puzzling. Its colour may trace back to an old knock, decay, a large restoration or changes inside the tooth, and each of those points somewhere different.
If you live in Sinclair Park, an area of Winnipeg, this appointment takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. The dentist looks for the cause first. Cosmetic choices such as whitening, bonding or a veneer enter the discussion once the tooth has been checked.

Cause before colour
A tooth that changed after an injury calls for a different conversation from one that darkened gradually along with the others.
Materials hold their shade
If the darker tooth is really a crown or a large filling, peroxide gel will not lighten that material at all.
More than one possible answer
Depending on the findings, a restoration or internal whitening may suit better than whitening every tooth in your smile.

Having it looked at
What happens with a darker tooth.
Nothing gets lightened or covered at this stage. The visit is about working out why that tooth looks the way it does.
Request your visit- 01
Recall when it changed
Mention roughly when you noticed the colour and whether that tooth was ever struck, filled or treated. A phone call or the online form both work for this.
- 02
Let the dentist investigate
Expect the tooth, the gums around it and any neighbouring restorations to be examined, with imaging if it is needed.
- 03
Go over what the findings allow
With a likely cause identified, you can compare what each option would involve for that tooth and for the teeth on either side.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Sinclair Park.
Ask our teamWhy would only one tooth darken?
Trauma, decay, a large restoration or changes inside the tooth can each do it. That is a different picture from overall staining, so an examination of that tooth comes first.
Will whitening all my teeth make it match?
Not necessarily. The cause may not respond to whitening the way general staining can, so the dentist needs to examine the tooth before saying what to expect.
Is internal whitening something you might suggest?
It may come up, along with a restoration or another treatment. Which of these fits depends on what is causing the colour, so it cannot be settled ahead of an exam.
Could a veneer simply cover it?
Veneers are sometimes considered when colour does not respond as hoped to whitening. A heavily weakened or root-canal-treated tooth may need a different plan, so its condition decides whether a thin shell makes sense.
Can bonding hide a small dark patch?
Direct resin can mask a localized discoloured or irregular area when that spot suits it. A tooth that is darker all over is a larger question, and resin may not be the answer.
I live in Sinclair Park. How do I get this looked at?
Call (204) 338-3003 or send the form on this page, and mention the tooth that concerns you. The appointment is held at our McPhillips Street clinic once a time has been confirmed with you.
