Natural teeth are not pure white, and comparisons online can warp your sense of normal. At our McPhillips Street clinic, you can hear whether whitening is worth considering, or not.
Let's find a time
Filtered photos and advertising have a way of making healthy teeth seem inadequate. You may live in Brooklands, an area of Winnipeg, and catch yourself wondering whether your colour is really a problem, or whether you have just been looking at too many edited smiles. Both possibilities are worth taking seriously.
Whitening is an elective treatment, so choosing against it is an entirely legitimate outcome. What an assessment can provide is information: the health of your teeth and gums, the likely source of your colour, and whether a change is realistic. What you do with those facts is up to you.
Explore teeth whitening
Hearing about whitening does not oblige you to choose it, and leaving things alone remains an option.
An examination tells you about the condition of your teeth and gums, whatever you decide about colour.
It matters how you feel about your smile, more than how it compares with anyone else’s.
Tooth colour comes from several places, and not all of them signal a problem. Knowing these categories can help you decide whether anything here is worth acting on.
Many shade changes reflect time and daily habits, and they do not have to be treated unless they bother you.
Certain colour changes point beyond appearance, so they deserve a look even if you have no interest in whitening.
If you do want to lighten your teeth, supervised options include in-office whitening, custom trays, or both, based on your assessment.
This appointment is about finding out where things stand. You can come with mixed feelings, and you are welcome to leave without having made a decision about your colour.
Request your visitA photo, a comment someone made, or your own sense of things are all fair starting points for the conversation.
We look for anything that might matter for your health, including decay, cracks, inflammation, recession, and any restorations that are leaking.
A baseline is noted, and you can ask questions about what you are seeing and how your colour came about.
The options may include whitening, a cleaning, something else, or doing nothing, and any elective choice can wait until you feel ready.
Before you come in, it can help to work out whether colour bothers you personally, or whether the concern came from somewhere else. Either answer is fine, and neither is a reason to feel embarrassed.
You might like to look at your smile in daylight, without a filter, before forming any firm opinion about how it looks.

You will not need a firm goal to have a useful appointment. If you do decide to go ahead, keep in mind that temporary sensitivity is common and can be planned for.
Questions that feel minor or a bit vain are welcome, since a cosmetic concern is still a real concern.
Hear how sensitivity and irritation may come into play, so that the decision reflects both sides.
If you try whitening, adjustments and pauses remain possible, and a directed pause should always be followed.
Whatever you decide
You may walk away choosing to whiten, or be perfectly satisfied that you do not need to. In either case, a few simple things can keep your teeth looking and feeling healthy.
Good daily care and regular dental visits still support your smile, and there is nothing further you have to do about colour.
Follow your instructions as directed, and remember that the result is not permanent, though touch-ups may be appropriate.
Feel free to bring the question up again at another appointment, especially if your feelings about your colour shift.

Helpful details about teeth whitening in Brooklands.
Ask our teamThere is no one correct colour. Natural shade varies between people and tends to deepen with age, so being less than bright white does not by itself suggest a health problem.
No. Whitening is an elective cosmetic choice. Your assessment can still look for health concerns separately, and those would be handled on their own merits.
Lighting and camera processing can shift colour in both directions, and filters add another layer of distortion. Daylight in a mirror usually gives a more ordinary view, and an examination gives an informed one.
You are welcome to request an assessment on that basis. The dentist can look at your teeth and explain what is possible, and you are free to decide against it afterward.
Temporary sensitivity is common, and irritation becomes more of a risk with overuse or unapproved products. Those potential effects are part of what you weigh against the change you want.
For some people, removing surface deposits may be enough to satisfy them, though that depends on the cause of the colour. Ask whether that would be a sensible first step for you.
