Visit Us For In-Office Or Take-Home Teeth Whitening Options

Did you know that the teeth whitening treatments you get over-the-counter are not as potent as the ones you can get from a trained dentist? While some people with minor stains may find success with store-bought whitening options, they often don’t work for a lot of people.
In contrast, the teeth whitening treatments we offer are actually able to change the shade of your teeth. And don’t worry, according to the Canadian Dental Association, the professional teeth whitening options we offer are safe for your oral health under the guidance of dentists.
We offer a few different teeth whitening treatment options and would be happy to review them with you to help you decide on which one would be best for your current situation and smile goals. Here’s a little bit about each teeth whitening product we offer:

Along with being stronger than store-bought formulas, professional teeth whitening treatments are also:

And because our dentists know far more about teeth whitening than a customer service representative you would have to contact about a store-bought product, you can rest assured you’ll get reliable answers to your questions.
Not all patients are suitable candidates for teeth whitening treatments. Your teeth will need to be healthy in order to get them. There are also a few different situations where teeth whitening may not do the trick to brighten your smile.
For example, if your teeth are stained or discolored because of certain health issues, medications you take, or your genetic history, teeth whitening may not be effective. Also, teeth whitening does not work on dental crowns, dentures, and other restorative dentistry treatments.
Regardless of the type of teeth whitening treatment you get from us, we will do our best to make sure your visit is as pleasant as possible. We have a few different amenities for you to choose from for your comfort and will always greet you warmly.

Book A Dental Cleaning And Exam And Keep Your Smile Healthy

Your teeth may seem ultra smooth, but there are actually grooves in your enamel that are thinner than a single bristle from a toothbrush. Needless to say, you can’t get inside those fine details of your teeth to clean them with a normal toothbrush.
When you visit our Winnipeg, MB dentist office, we will use special instruments and techniques to clean every tooth in your mouth and your gums more thoroughly than you ever could at home. This way, we’ll get rid of the bad bacteria on your teeth that can lead to tooth decay if left unchecked.
We will also give your oral health a thorough evaluation, checking for any signs of dental problems. For example, you may be showing signs of early-stage gum disease and not even know it. But as any good, well-trained dentist would, we will provide a gum disease treatment or another procedure you may need.
By catching signs of decay and other concerns early, we’ll be able to address the issue while it is still small and easily managed. Not only will this be good for your smile, it will also save you time and money in the long run because you won’t have to visit us multiple times and pay for more complex treatments.
If you’re the type of person that avoids the dentist until you have a problem, you may be misunderstanding why dental cleanings and exams are recommended so frequently. The whole point of routine dental visits is to prevent oral health problems from occurring.
Of course, there may be something that has been keeping you from seeing the dentist. You may be busy or you may even have a fear of the dentist. Whatever the cause of your skipping your dental cleanings, we want to help you overcome it. We even have some options to help relieve dental anxiety if necessary. For example, we offer various amenities, including:

If you have been neglecting your proper oral health habits, we can help you get back on track. We will not make you feel judged about the current state of your teeth. Our job is to help you improve your smile, not feel guilty about it.

These factors could be some of the reasons you choose dental implants, but if you’d like to hear more about three benefits of dental implants that you might not expect or know about, keep reading! Consider the list above a bonus!

Learn More About How Great Dental Implants Are

One of the things that you might not know about dental implants is that they are very easy to take care of. Just like your natural teeth, all you need to do is:

Unlike traditional dentures that need to be removed and placed in a special cleanser overnight, dental implants stay put in your mouth and can be cleaned just like your natural teeth. And because you don’t need to take them out to be cleaned you also won’t have to worry about dropping your replacement teeth and breaking them.
The second perk of dental implants that we’ll discuss today is that you will not need to change your diet in any way if you get them.
Because they are held in place by suction and special adhesive, traditional dentures can sometimes shift inside your mouth or even fall out, especially while eating.
Dentures held in place by dental implants, on the other hand, are securely held in place, even when you are eating tough, chewy, or sticky foods. You’ll be able to chomp into a bite of juicy steak or anything else you love to eat without worry about your chewing ability or your replacement teeth coming loose.
Because you’ll be able to eat a more balanced diet and chew your food more thoroughly, you may even improve your overall health if you choose dental implants.
Finally, the third benefit of dental implants that we’ll review today, is that they help you to preserve your jawbone.
Because dental implants literally fuse to your jawbone through a process known as “osseointegration,” they actually replace the roots of your natural teeth. One effect of this is that it prevents bone deterioration, which keeps your jaw healthier and stronger.
Since dental implants prevent jawbone deterioration, they also help you maintain a youthful look for younger. That’s right! Dental implants are good for your jaw health and can help you avoid a “sunken in” look as well!
Depending on your particular situation and goals, we have a few different options to restore dental implants for you to choose from, including:

Regardless of which dental implant restoration option you choose, we will do everything we can to make the experience as pleasant as possible for you.

Visit your local dentist as soon as possible if you have a dental problem so it doesn’t get worse gradually. If you think you might have a cavity, don’t hesitate to call Lakewood Dental Centre at 204-977-8515 to find out for sure if you need a tooth-colored filling!
By coming to our Winnipeg, MB dentist office promptly when you are in need of restorative dentistry, we can treat your problem and get your smile good as new again. To save yourself time and money in the future and avoid major dental issues, maintain regular dental cleanings and exams with us so we can catch signs of problems early!
One of the worst-case scenarios that can occur if you develop a cavity and don’t do anything about it is that the decay could affect such a large portion of your tooth that it will need to be extracted.
We will do everything we can to preserve your natural teeth but in some cases, a tooth extraction is the best thing for your overall oral health because it can prevent infection from spreading throughout your smile.
Because we understand that dental problems don’t keep to normal business hours, we provide expanded hours at our Winnipeg, MB dentist office.
You’ll also be happy to know that if you are in pain and think you have a dental emergency, we may be able to provide a same-day appointment and relieve your discomfort as soon as possible.

Learn How A Simple Cavity Could Lead To Tooth Removal

At some point or another, a lot of people will develop a cavity. As a common problem, we fill many cavities every year with tooth-colored material so the smile repair will blend in seamlessly with your smile. Depending on how many cavities you have and how severe they are, we can typically perform a tooth filling in a single visit to our office.
But in case you were wondering what might happen if you didn’t do anything about a cavity, allow us to describe a potential series of developments for you.
Say you don’t maintain the greatest oral hygiene habits. You know you should brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, but you often forget. You also are aware that you should floss at least once a day, but even with the best of intentions, you might forget. Before you know it, you might only floss when you have something stuck between your teeth.
Even so, you don’t notice any real issues or dental pain, so perhaps you neglect your routine dental cleanings and exams. Instead of visiting a dentist every six months as you should, you just decide to hold off until you need to go.
Then, one day, you notice some pain in one of your teeth when you bite down on some food. Maybe you’re really busy that week and the discomfort is bearable, so you try to remember to avoid chewing in that area of your mouth and intend to contact Lakewood Dental Centre when you have more time.
Before you know it, the pain has gotten much worse. You might not know it yet but maybe your cavity has continued to grow and decay your tooth enamel. But you still don’t want to go to the dentist. Maybe you’re worried about the cost. Or you could have a slight fear of the dentist and don’t know that we offer various options to help relieve dental anxiety.
Finally, the pain is too much and you make an appointment. When the dentist comes back to review your exam with you, you find out that the cavity has grown to the point that your tooth cannot be saved.
Instead of getting a tooth filling, you now have to get your tooth completely removed. You don’t want a gap in your smile, but you don’t have much of choice. That little cavity, your dentist tells you, could infect the soft tissue inside your tooth and then infect your jaw as well if the tooth isn’t taken out.
If you’d just gone to the dentist when the problem started this all could have been avoided! Or, better yet, your dentist might have been able to catch the problem during an exam before you were even aware of it!
Don’t let a cavity get out of hand and force you to undergo a tooth extraction! If you’re in need of restorative dentistry services, call Lakewood Dental Centre at 204-977-8515 today. You can also use our handy online form.
