Can whitening be my reason for contacting you as a new patient?+
Certainly. Mention that you are new and that colour is what brought you in. The dentist would still need to check your teeth and gums before saying whether whitening suits you.
Do I have to bring X-rays from my previous dentist?+
That is a question to ask when you get in touch, since what is needed depends on your situation. It helps to have your former office’s name ready, in case records would be useful.
I do not know which of my teeth have fillings. Is that a problem?+
Not at all. The examination identifies restorations, including tooth-coloured ones that can be hard to spot yourself. They matter because they will stay the same colour if your natural teeth lighten.
Am I expected to come in for other dental treatment too?+
The dentist will tell you what the exam shows, and health concerns need attention before an elective treatment. What to do about any other findings remains a conversation you are part of.
Could I be told that whitening is the wrong choice for me?+
Yes. Some colour does not respond well to peroxide, and some conditions need care first. In that case, ask what caused the colour and which alternatives might address it instead.
How do I become a patient if I live in Lockport?+
Send the form below or call (204) 338-3003, and say this would be your first visit. Appointments take place in Winnipeg at our McPhillips Street address after the clinic confirms a time.
