Cleaner, or whiter?

General Dentistry for Middlechurch Residents

Maybe your teeth look duller than you would like, and you wonder what a cleaning could change. Middlechurch residents can have that looked at during a visit to our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Sorting out surface stain

A cleaning and whitening are not the same job.

A professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar and surface stain, and a polish can follow. Many people notice their teeth look fresher afterward. That is different from changing a tooth’s underlying shade, which is the territory of Teeth Whitening. Which one would help you depends on what is causing the colour you see.

That is why the examination matters. Not every dark mark is a stain, and not every one is decay either, so a visible change deserves a closer look from the dentist. If you live outside the City of Winnipeg and are planning one trip in, ask for the exam and cleaning to be arranged together, and bring your whitening questions to that appointment.

Surface stain

This is the sort of discolouration a professional cleaning and polish are meant to address.

A mark on one tooth

A single dark spot should be shown to the dentist instead of being treated as a cosmetic issue.

Health before shade

Your teeth and gums are assessed first, and any cosmetic plan follows from those findings.

What to start with

General dentistry for Middlechurch residents

Begin with Check-ups & Cleanings if colour is your main concern. A spot that turns out to be decay would move to Dental Fillings, and the rest of the services below cover other findings an exam could bring up.

Before you ask about whitening

Get the answer in the right order.

A clear sequence saves you from treating the wrong problem.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Describe what you notice

    Mention coffee, tea, tobacco or anything else you suspect, and say whether the change is all over or limited to a single tooth.

  2. 02

    Have the examination and cleaning

    A dentist looks at your teeth, gums and existing dental work, while a hygienist usually carries out the scaling and polishing.

  3. 03

    Compare in good light

    See how things look once the buildup is gone. If you still want a lighter shade, ask whether whitening suits you and how your existing fillings or crowns would factor in.

Helpful details about general dentistry in Middlechurch.

Ask our team
How much brighter can a cleaning alone get my teeth?

It can remove surface stain, so teeth may look brighter. However, cleaning is not designed to alter the natural colour of a tooth, and results differ from one person to the next.

Do I have to have a check-up before asking about whitening?

It makes sense to, because the cause of the discolouration and the health of your mouth help decide what is suitable. Ask the clinic how it would like to approach your request.

I drink coffee every day. Will the stain come back?

It may, over time. At your visit, you can ask for home-care advice suited to your routine and for a recall interval that makes sense for your mouth.

This brown line near my gums. Is it stain or tartar?

You cannot always tell by looking, and hardened tartar cannot be brushed away at home. It is worth pointing out, so it can be examined and removed if that is what it is.

One of my fillings looks darker than the teeth around it. Why?

An older restoration can change appearance over time. Have it checked, since replacement is considered when clinically appropriate, and looks alone should be weighed against removing more tooth.

Where do I raise tooth colour if I live in Middlechurch?

Add a line about colour to your online request, or ask by phone at (204) 338-3003. The clinic confirms your appointment afterward, since the form does not hold a time.
