Hoping to brighten your smile as well as fix a chip or small space? The order matters, since resin won’t lighten later. Lockport is outside the City of Winnipeg, so it pays to plan both stages before coming in.
Let's find a time
Natural enamel can respond to whitening, but composite stays the colour it was when placed. Bond first and lighten afterwards, and the repair may stand out against a brighter tooth. That’s why whitening is generally finished ahead of time when a lighter overall shade is the goal.
If you’re a Lockport resident hoping to do both, treatment would take place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, starting with an assessment. A dentist can tell you whether either step suits your teeth and how they might be spaced apart.
Explore dental bonding
Whitening products won’t lift a bonded area to match teeth that have been lightened.
Composite is chosen against your teeth after their colour has stabilized following whitening.
Doing both in sequence usually means planning around separate stages, so ask about the schedule early.
Whitening and bonding solve different problems. One alters the overall colour of natural teeth, and the other rebuilds or reshapes a selected area with added material.
Consider this stage when your concern involves the general shade of your natural teeth, and when an assessment supports it.
Direct composite comes in for focused changes to form or to a localized blemish, which colour alone can’t address.
Existing white fillings near the front of your mouth won’t lighten either. Point them out, as they may affect your overall plan.
Consider this a general outline, not a set schedule. The assessment determines what’s appropriate, and the spacing of visits depends on the plan for your teeth.
Request your visitYour teeth and gums are examined, along with the chip or space, because any decay or other concern may need attention first.
If whitening is recommended, it’s completed before any bonding is placed, following the directions you’re given for your method.
Shade can keep changing for a while after whitening. Ask when your teeth will be ready to be matched.
Shades are selected on your lighter teeth, then the composite is layered, cured, checked against your bite and polished.
If you have a date in mind for finishing, tell the clinic when you request your visit. Allowing some room between stages is easier than trying to rush them.
Already whitened recently? Say so and mention roughly when. It could affect when your teeth are ready for a shade to be chosen.

If cold or sweet things already make your teeth twinge, mention that before you begin. It’s relevant when choosing a whitening approach and when planning bonding on a chipped tooth.
A fracture that reacts may be a case where local anaesthetic is appropriate, even if bonding often goes without it.
If you’ve had discomfort with whitening before, describe what happened so that it’s considered when your plan is made.
Let the dentist know how your teeth are feeling at each stage, rather than waiting until the end to say so.
Keeping the match
Your enamel and your resin may not age identically. Composite can pick up stain or lose its polish, and coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco may make that more visible.
Ask first, because lightening the natural teeth afterward could leave bonded areas looking darker by comparison.
Refinishing by a professional may improve selected staining or roughness, which is considered before replacing any resin.
Clean between your teeth and brush normally, and avoid using bonded edges on nails, packaging or hard objects.
If a bonded area looks noticeably off or feels rough, call (204) 338-3003 and explain what’s changed.

That’s unlikely to be the usual approach, because resin ought to be matched to a settled colour. Ask how the stages could be organized once your teeth have been assessed.
Not necessarily, especially if an edge is sharp or sore. Let the clinic know, since the dentist may discuss a staged approach, and resin placed early might need revisiting if you later lighten your teeth.
Certainly, if you’re content with your current colour. Whitening is only part of the plan when you want a lighter overall shade, and resin can be matched to your teeth as they are.
Resin won’t have changed along with your enamel, so it may look darker in comparison. Ask whether refinishing or replacing it would be sensible once your colour has settled.
Results vary, and some discolouration responds less well than others. An examination can help determine whether whitening, resin or another approach is more likely to address what you’re seeing.
If your plans involve colour as well as shape, these pages explain more. Whether any of them applies to you is decided at your assessment.
