You brush well, yet your smile still seems flat. Sometimes the cause is buildup and sometimes it is deeper colour, and a dental examination can begin to tell them apart.
Let's find a time
A smile can lose its brightness for more than one reason. Plaque and tartar can dull the surface, pigments may collect on enamel, and the tooth’s own colour can deepen. If you live in Mandalay West, in Winnipeg, and cannot tell which of these applies to you, there is no need to solve that puzzle alone.
Whitening is designed for colour that can respond to peroxide, and it does not remove hardened deposits. That is why your visit to our McPhillips Street clinic starts by checking your teeth and gums, so any recommendation addresses what is really making your smile look tired.

Surface buildup and inner colour can look alike in the mirror, yet they call for different care.
Removing deposits first can show how much colour remains before peroxide is even discussed.
If your last cleaning was a while ago, just say so. It helps us work out where to begin.
These treatments are easily confused because both may leave teeth looking brighter. They work on separate problems, though, and you might need one, the other, or both.
Plaque, hardened tartar, and pigment gathered on enamel belong to the world of professional cleaning.
Gel works on colour in natural enamel and dentin, under a dentist’s supervision.
Only an examination can show which of these is contributing to your concern, and many patients have a mix of the two.
We try to answer the question of cause before suggesting a treatment. An appointment might follow a path like this one.
Request your visitLet us know how you brush and clean between your teeth, when you last had a cleaning, and what you have noticed changing.
Your dentist examines teeth and gums, looking for buildup alongside problems such as decay, recession, and inflammation.
If deposits are present, a hygiene appointment may take priority. You will hear why before anything is arranged, and you can ask how visits would be organized.
A baseline shade can then be recorded, and if lighter teeth are still your goal, the dentist can discuss whether whitening is suitable.
You do not need to clean your teeth differently for this appointment. A few observations about what you see each day will give the discussion a helpful start.
When you request your visit, say if you may also be due for a cleaning, as this could influence how the appointment time is planned.
The reception area and a treatment room at our clinic.
You may feel awkward showing up with buildup after some time away. Please do not. Dental teams see this all the time, and telling us what would help is enough.
Tell your hygienist or dentist where you feel sensitive, so your comfort can be discussed before they begin.
If you later whiten, temporary sensitivity is a common effect, and the protocol can be changed to help manage it.
You can ask what an instrument is for, or why a step is needed, at any point during your care.
Keeping your smile from going flat
Whichever treatment you end up having, plaque will continue to form and colour will continue to shift. Some simple upkeep gives your teeth a better chance of staying fresh-looking.
Thorough brushing and cleaning between your teeth limit the film that pigment likes to attach to.
Your dentist and hygienist will suggest how often to return, based on your gums and your teeth.
Lighter teeth can darken again with time and habits, so ask whether occasional touch-ups would make sense.
If your teeth start looking dull again sooner than you expected, the clinic is happy to hear about it.

Helpful details about teeth whitening in Mandalay West.
Ask our teamIt might be part of the reason, since hardened deposits can hold colour and sit along the gumline. A dental examination can show whether tartar is present and what else may be contributing.
No, those deposits need daily care and professional cleaning. Peroxide is meant for colour in natural tooth structure, which is why a cleaning may be advised ahead of elective whitening.
Good brushing does not stop natural colour from deepening or remove hardened tartar. There may also be pigment from foods and drinks, and your dentist can help work out which of these is involved.
Ask when you get in touch. The clinic can tell you how these would be organized for you, as the answer depends on your examination and on how much care your gums and teeth need first.
Inflammation may need treatment before cosmetic care, so mention any bleeding. Your dentist will check your gums and let you know how that affects the timing of a whitening treatment.
You often cannot tell by looking in a mirror. A dentist looks at the location and pattern of colour, and removing deposits can sometimes make the difference much clearer.
Our form and our phone line, (204) 338-3003, both work. You would come to Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, at a time the clinic confirms with you afterward.
