Plenty of people get into the habit of hiding their teeth when they laugh. If you live in Kildonan, in Winnipeg, an honest look at your colour at our McPhillips Street clinic can show whether whitening is a sensible step.
Let's find a time
Keeping your lips together in conversation or tilting your head away when you laugh can become automatic. It is a common response to feeling that your teeth look darker or duller than you would like, and it is nothing to feel awkward about raising with a dental team.
Teeth gain colour for different reasons. Pigment can build up on the enamel surface, natural shade often deepens with age, and some discolouration forms inside enamel or dentin. Professional whitening relies on peroxide-based gel that can lighten many of these changes, but a single tooth that looks noticeably darker usually needs its own diagnosis.
Explore teeth whitening
Surface stain, age-related darkening and one darker tooth each call for a different conversation.
Your starting colour is recorded so that the change can be measured instead of guessed at.
An assessment is a chance to understand your options, and whitening is one of several possible answers.
The system suggested for you depends on your starting colour, how sensitive your teeth tend to be, your schedule and how comfortable you are following a home routine.
Your gums and soft tissues are protected before concentrated gel goes on. The team watches how your shade responds and can adjust things during the appointment.
Trays shaped to your teeth hold prescribed gel against them for a directed length of time, and colour lightens across a number of applications.
Whitening changes natural teeth only. Bonding, crowns, bridges, veneers and fillings stay their current colour, which matters if one of them sits where you smile.
Health comes before cosmetic treatment, so the first visit looks at your whole mouth.
Request your visitDecay, cracks, recession, gum inflammation and restorations that leak may need treating ahead of any whitening.
Having a baseline makes it possible to talk about realistic change rather than a particular number of shades.
Any dental work that shows when you smile is mapped, since it may stop blending once teeth lighten.
How your teeth have reacted before, and whether any roots are exposed, helps decide gel strength and timing.
You do not need the right words. Pointing at the teeth you notice most in a mirror, or describing when you feel self-conscious, gives the dentist plenty to go on.
Using the form starts a request. The clinic confirms an appointment time with you before anything is scheduled.
Black chairs around a white desk, and plants on the reception counter.
Temporary sensitivity is a common part of whitening and often fades quickly, though it varies. Gel concentration, contact time and how often you whiten can all be changed, and a desensitizing product may be suggested.
Stick to the application length the dental team sets out, even on days your teeth feel fine.
Stopping for a while is sometimes recommended, and it is an ordinary part of a whitening plan.
A stabbing feeling, or an ache that hangs on for hours, is worth a phone call to the clinic.
After you have whitened
Colour gradually returns over time. Understanding why makes it easier to decide what to do later.
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, plaque and aging all influence how long a result looks fresh.
Check-ups and cleanings keep plaque and surface deposits from dulling your teeth again.
An occasional supervised touch-up may be appropriate once some colour returns.
If one tooth still stands out after whitening, ask about it rather than whitening harder.

Helpful details about teeth whitening in Kildonan.
Ask our teamYes. Many people come in because they have started hiding their teeth. Telling the dentist what bothers you is simply useful information for planning.
Nobody can promise how you will feel, and the change in shade varies from person to person. What an assessment can do is explain what is realistic for your teeth.
Whitening only affects colour. If chips, edges or spacing are part of the concern, ask about bonding, reshaping or veneers during your visit.
Sometimes. A single dark tooth may relate to trauma, decay, a large restoration or changes inside the tooth, so it should be examined before whitening is considered.
Whitening is normally planned for the visible natural teeth as a group. If only one tooth looks different, a separate assessment of that tooth is usually more appropriate.
Phone the clinic at (204) 338-3003, or put your details into the request form and say which teeth bother you. Visits are at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, after the clinic has confirmed a time.
