Periodontics for Polo Park Residents
You came looking for whiter teeth or veneers, not a talk about gums. For Polo Park residents planning cosmetic work, here is why the tissue around your teeth still gets a say.
Let's find a time

The frame around the picture
Cosmetic results sit on top of the health underneath.
Puffy margins, bleeding or a gumline that has crept back all change how teeth look, and no shade of white will correct them. Inflamed tissue can also make it harder to plan the edge of a veneer or to judge what a whitening treatment should involve. That is why teeth and gums are examined before a cosmetic recommendation is made.
Polo Park is an area in Winnipeg, and residents can have this looked at in our clinic on McPhillips Street. For many people the check simply clears the way. If it does find something, settling the inflammation first gives your cosmetic plan a steadier starting point.

Colour along the gumline
Red or swollen tissue draws the eye, and it can make even a well-chosen shade look less even than you expected.
Sensitivity to mention
Exposed roots may react to temperature, which is one more reason to raise any tender spots before whitening.
Edges that stay cleanable
Margins of restorations should sit where they can be kept free of plaque, so the gums have a role in planning.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Polo Park.
Ask our teamMy gums bleed a little. Does that rule out whitening?
It is sensible to have bleeding examined first. Whether whitening is suitable depends on what is found, and the plan may change if inflammation is present.
Will veneers hide receding gums?
Veneers cover the front of a tooth and do not treat what is causing recession. If gums have moved, the reason should be understood before any shells are designed.
Could treating my gums change how my smile looks?
It can. As swelling settles, teeth may appear slightly longer, and small spaces can become more noticeable. Bring this up early so that it can be factored into your goals.
Is gum contouring the same as periodontal treatment?
No. Contouring changes the visible outline of tissue for cosmetic or restorative reasons, while periodontal care addresses disease. A prominent gumline can have several causes, so measuring comes first.
Will this slow down my plans for an event?
It depends on your findings. Tissue needs time to respond to any treatment, so mention your date when you first talk with the clinic and ask what is realistic.
