Some teeth are not uniformly dark at all. They carry white flecks, faint bands or blotches that catch the light, and that kind of colour problem calls for its own conversation.
Let's find a time
When colour varies across one tooth, brightening everything may not even things out the way you hope. Veneers are one possible approach for selected discolouration that does not respond predictably to whitening, since a thin custom restoration covers the visible front surface.
Marks like these can have different causes, and only an examination can tell you what you are looking at. Kildonan residents can have their teeth assessed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where we can also talk over options that are less involved than veneers.

A mark on enamel is assessed first, because the right response depends on what it turns out to be.
Blending a patchy area means thinking about colour along with how light plays across the tooth.
Whitening or bonding may be raised too, depending on the mark and how far your goal extends.
Broadly, colour can be altered within the tooth or hidden behind something placed over it. Your dentist can tell you which line of thought suits your situation.
If the enamel can be left as it is, a less committed option may deserve a look first.
A veneer places new material over the front of the tooth, which changes what the eye sees.
Once enamel has been prepared, that tooth goes on needing a restoration, so it is sensible to rule out gentler choices first.
A visit about uneven colour tends to begin with looking closely and asking about history, rather than with choosing a shade.
Request your visitPoint out the areas that bother you and when you first noticed them. The dentist examines those teeth along with your gums, enamel and bite.
Your dentist explains what the marks may mean and which approaches are worth considering. If veneers remain on the table, planning records come next.
Photographs, scans and shade selection define the proposed result. Sometimes a preview helps you assess how the planned changes would look.
Enamel is conservatively shaped where the plan requires it, and records go on to fabrication. Fit and colour get evaluated at try-in, prior to bonding.
History can help. You may remember having these patches for as long as you have had adult teeth, or you may have noticed them more recently, and either detail is useful to mention.
Whitening at home shortly before planning could affect how your colour looks that day, so let us know about any products you have used lately.
The reception desk with its plants, and a room for consultations.
You may have spent years turning your head a certain way for photographs. Nobody needs you to justify caring about this, and you can say exactly how much it matters to you.
A mirror makes it simple to show the precise patch you mean without hunting for words.
Tell the dentist if the marked teeth react to cold or feel different, as that is useful information.
Ask for a pause or a fuller explanation whenever you would like one during the visit.
Keeping the colour even
A veneer and the enamel around it do not age in identical ways. Knowing that helps you understand why upkeep is about the whole smile and not only the treated teeth.
Ceramic resists many stains, yet untreated teeth and bonding margins can still shift over time. Coffee, tobacco and hygiene continue to influence the overall look.
Brush and floss the veneered teeth just as you do the rest. Trouble such as decay can begin where a veneer’s margin meets the tooth.
No veneer lasts indefinitely, since chipping and debonding can occur. Grinding and trauma are among the factors that affect longevity, so discuss protection if they apply.
If a tooth changes colour suddenly or begins to hurt, call the clinic rather than sending the appointment form.

Ask our teamThey may, because a veneer sits over the front surface of a selected tooth. Whether that is sensible depends on the spot, the tooth and your goals, which is what an examination helps decide.
It might or it might not, as some discolouration does not respond predictably. Have the marks looked at first so you can discuss what to realistically expect from professional whitening.
There can be more than one cause, and appearance alone may not settle it. Your dentist can examine the tooth, ask about your history, and explain what seems likely in your case.
For a selected smaller area, tooth-coloured bonding may be worth asking about. It involves a different material and different maintenance, so compare the two with your dentist.
Not necessarily. Which teeth are treated depends on your visible smile, symmetry and how the colours transition, and including extra teeth is not automatically an improvement.
Request a visit on this page or call (204) 338-3003, describing the marks if you wish. The assessment would take place at our McPhillips Street clinic once your time has been confirmed.
Depending on what the marks are and how the tooth is doing, your dentist may bring up one of these instead. Read about each before your visit if that helps.
