Sometimes a remark about your teeth, however offhand, starts you thinking about whitening. For Polo Park residents, an unhurried assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can help you decide on your own terms.
Let's find a time
A friend, relative or colleague may have mentioned your teeth, or you may have compared yourself with someone else’s smile. Either way, the useful question is what you would like, and whether your teeth are in a good state for an elective treatment.
Natural teeth are not pure white, and their colour changes with age, food, drinks and tobacco. Professional whitening uses peroxide-based gel to lighten colour within the tooth, and the response depends on the cause. An assessment gives you facts to weigh, and choosing not to whiten is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

Checking for cavities, cracks and gum problems matters more than any shade.
Your starting shade is recorded, and the change you are aiming for is yours to decide.
Healthy teeth come in a range of shades, and a deeper one is not a sign of neglect.
The method recommended for you depends on your starting colour, schedule, sensitivity and ability to follow instructions.
Gel is applied for you during one concentrated visit, while your gums and soft tissues are protected. Shade change is assessed as treatment goes on, and it can be adjusted for sensitivity.
Trays fitted to your teeth hold prescribed gel for a directed length of time, with colour lightening over a number of applications.
Restorations such as crowns, veneers, bonding and fillings will not lighten, so they could look different if the teeth beside them become whiter.
The assessment gives you a clear sense of your oral health, your starting colour and what whitening could realistically change.
Request your visitCavities, cracks, recession, gum inflammation and leaking restorations are looked for, because some need care before whitening.
A baseline means any change can be discussed against something real, not a memory or a comparison.
Dental work in your smile is noted, since it may no longer match after natural teeth lighten.
Your own goal, any past sensitivity and the product options are talked through before any decision.
It can help to look in a mirror in daylight and notice what you actually see. That gives you something concrete to describe.
A request through the form does not book a time. The clinic contacts you to confirm an appointment.
A white counter with a blue accent wall, and white chairs below a blind.
Temporary sensitivity is common and often passes quickly, though its strength varies. Your dental team may adjust gel strength, contact time or frequency, and may suggest a desensitizing product.
A break recommended by your dental team is a normal way of keeping sensitivity in check.
Extra gel will not get you to a whiter shade faster and may make your teeth more uncomfortable.
Call the clinic if pain is sharp or keeps going.
Months down the line
Whatever you decide, natural tooth colour keeps shifting gradually through your life.
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, plaque and aging continue to affect your shade after whitening.
Regular check-ups and cleanings look after your teeth whether or not you whiten.
If colour drifts back and you want to refresh it, ask whether a touch-up would suit you.
Deciding to leave your colour as it is remains a sound choice if your teeth are healthy.

Helpful details about teeth whitening in Polo Park.
Ask our teamNot necessarily. Natural tooth colour varies and deepens with age. That said, an examination can check whether plaque, decay or another problem is playing a part.
An assessment is the usual starting point, and it is meant to help you decide. You are not committing to whitening by asking about it.
That is a perfectly reasonable outcome. Healthy teeth that are a little darker are still healthy, and your regular care continues as usual.
Yes. A gradual approach with trays may suit a subtle goal, and you can stop once the shade feels right to you.
Results depend on your own starting colour, stain type and tooth structure, so they rarely match another person’s exactly. The dentist can talk about a realistic range.
A call to (204) 338-3003 is one way, and the form further down this page is another. The visit takes place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street after the clinic confirms a time.
