Wedding season is almost here, so we thought it was a great time to share Paige’s experience with you!
Along with routine cleanings and restorative dental treatments here and there, Paige also chose to have our Winnipeg dentist whiten her teeth. In this video, you’ll hear her explain why she opted for professional treatment instead of trusting a store-bought kit to brighten her smile.

Valentine’s Day should be a time for you and your sweetheart to celebrate your love, but it’s not always easy to feel comfortable enough to enjoy yourself during a romantic night out if you’re embarrassed about your smile, even around someone who loves you no matter what.
That’s why your friends at Lakewood Dental Centre think you should know about an easy, but powerful cosmetic dental solution we offer in Winnipeg, MB.
Solve Smile Problems With Custom Veneers!
Teeth whitening is one cosmetic solution that can easily give you a confidence boost for special occasions like Valentine’s Day. If you have an important event coming up, we can quickly brighten your smile so you’ll look and feel great.
But naturally, it’s only going to affect the color of your teeth. So it’s not enough to fix other visible flaws like:
- Cracks and chips
- Dents and dings
- Misshapen teeth
- Slightly gapped or crooked teeth
Veneers are often referred to as the way to create a Hollywood smile because they look so flawless and beautiful, just like the smiles you see on the red carpet and the big screen. And you can achieve that faster than you might think!
*Traditional Veneers*
Porcelain veneers are thin caps bonded to imperfect teeth to hide cosmetic dental flaws while making your covered teeth look as lifelike as natural enamel. They’re designed according to your desired color, shape, and size.
To make them fit comfortably and naturally against your gumline, porcelain veneers are placed after your tooth enamel is etched enough to make room for them.
And in about two appointments, you’ll have an amazing smile that stays bright and radiant for years, hiding the imperfections you don’t like and protecting your teeth from further damage.
*E.max Veneers*
Two appointments to transform your smile sounds quick, right?
But believe it or not, there’s another option that’s even faster!
E.max veneers do everything traditional veneers do, except they’re thinner. If the nicks, chips, and other flaws with your teeth are minimal, you may be a good candidate for these porcelain veneers. Because they don’t require as much, if any, prep to your own tooth enamel in order to fit over your teeth, we can often place them in only one appointment!
Call Now For A Consultation!
It doesn’t matter if the problems with your teeth are so minimal that only you can see them.
As long as the imperfections are visible to you, they’re going to make you feel self-conscious about your smile.
With our veneers options, you can choose the one that will conceal your dental flaws, big or small, for a smile that you’ll want to share freely with that someone special, no matter the occasion!

Do you want 2020 to be more enjoyable and more fulfilling than 2019?
If you’ve suffered tooth loss, you might assume that dentures haven’t changed all that much in recent years.
But thanks to innovative techniques and technology, replacing missing teeth with modern dentures doesn’t have to force you to completely change your diet, lifestyle, or appearance like traditional dentures might.
Your friends at Lakewood Dental Centre are offering some insight into how far tooth replacement has come and how life with dentures may be healthier and happier than you think!
What You Should Know About Modern Dentures
Here are a few things you should know about modern dentures in Winnipeg, MB:
*They Can Actually Improve Your Quality of Life*
Dental prosthetics look more lifelike than ever before, so modern dentures don’t look artificial like dentures from the past. You’ll look great and feel great because of your natural-looking smile.
But your life improves in other ways!
Our high-quality dentures can be anchored to dental implants that allow you to chew food easily, so you don’t have to feel left out while having dinner with the family, during holidays, or other special events. You can eat the healthy, delicious foods you’ve always loved!
*They’re More Comfortable*
Modern replacement teeth are versatile, allowing you to replace an entire arch with full dentures or just a few teeth in a row with partial dentures. But we can attach your replacements to dental implants so that your teeth not only fit more comfortably, but they aren’t as irritating to your gums as conventional dentures often are.
*They Can Be Secured With Dental Implants*
Traditional dentures that rest on top of your gums are only held in place with dental adhesives. Not only can this be messy, but for many patients, it’s just not very reliable. Your teeth may have a tendency to slip around while you eat or speak, which can be quite humiliating.
Implant-supported dentures, on the other hand, are held securely in place with a strong and easy-to-remove bar attachment so you don’t have to worry about your teeth shifting or falling out of your mouth.
*They Last Longer*
When your dentures are held firmly in place by dental implants, your jawbone will remain stronger so it won’t be as vulnerable to shrinkage. That means your replacement teeth will fit better longer so you don’t have to keep returning to the dentist as often for adjustments.
Schedule A Consultation Now!
Thanks to modern innovations in dentistry, replacing missing teeth is an entirely different experience for tooth loss patients. With a wider selection of high-quality, secure dentures options to choose from, you’re sure to find the solution that’s most suited to your dental health needs and lifestyle goals.

Has Jack Frost already been nipping at your nose?
If you live around here, probably so! We’re all used to frigid temperatures in Winnipeg, but did you know that winter can pose unique challenges for your oral health?
Your friends at Lakewood Dental Centre want to help you avoid some of the potential negative consequences this particular season can have on your teeth.
Winter Tips For Your Teeth
Here are a few helpful tips from your Winnipeg dentist to take better care of your teeth in the cold winter months:
*Drink Water*
This advice applies to every season because water is essential to your overall health, as well as your dental health.
Drinking plenty of water isn’t tough to do in the intense summer heat, but in the winter, it’s tempting to pass it up in favor of hot drinks, like coffee and hot cocoa, to warm yourself up.
Those drinks are fine in moderation, but they should always come second to your daily water intake, which will encourage healthy saliva production, keep your mouth cleaner, and protect your teeth and gums from harmful bacteria.
*Wear A Mouthguard*
If someone in your family plays a winter sport, their teeth and gums need the right protection against injuries. We can create a custom mouthguard that will fit properly and comfortably over teeth and gums to effectively absorb any impact of physical force or contact to minimize the harm done to your mouth or your smile.
*Cut The Chatter*
We don’t mean you should stop talking!
We’re talking about teeth chattering in cold temperatures like we experience around here in the harsh winter months.
Even though you don’t notice it, teeth will contract and expand in response to hot and cold temperatures. Whether you’re eating ice cream, drinking hot chocolate, or leaving the warmth of your house and walking outside to your car in the morning, your teeth are going to be exposed to varying temperatures that have them in constant, although undetectable motion.
This can increase your risk for teeth fractures, so it’s something to keep in mind this time of year. To keep the extreme contrasts in temperatures from hurting your teeth, you can cover your mouth with a scarf, keep your mouth closed when you step outside, and just be aware of the varying and extreme temperatures of your food and drinks.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year!
Heading into the holiday season, everyone gets excited about the decorations, the music, the cozy nights in front of the fire with a hot cup of cocoa, the special get-togethers with family and friends, and yes, the food!
Your friends at Lakewood Dental Centre want to help you enjoy your favorite holiday dishes free of painful dental problems.
Today, we invite you to visit us if you’re having issues with the complete, comfortable function of your mouth.
‘Tis The Season For Restorative Dentistry!
We’re looking at two possible causes of your painful chewing problem and offering ways we can help with restorative dentistry in Winnipeg, MB.
*Painful Chewing & Functionality Problems*
When you have to think about how to chew your food so you won’t be in pain or literally bite off more than your teeth can handle, eating becomes a chore.
But you’re supposed to be able to eat whatever you want without worrying about your teeth and just enjoy the sensory experience of it all.
You especially want to eat comfortably during a time like the holiday season!
Dental pain, tooth sensitivity, and difficulty when chewing your food could be caused by a number of things, such as:
- An abscess or infection inside a tooth
- A decayed tooth
- A traumatized or damaged tooth
- Exposed tooth roots due to gum recession
The first order of business when we restore teeth is to treat the underlying problem, whether that means root canal therapy for infection, gum disease treatment, or a dental crown or tooth-coloured filling for decay or damage.
The objective is to get rid of the decay, disease, or infection, then to strengthen the compromised tooth with a natural-looking restorative solution that will blend in with your smile and give you your strong, comfortable bite back!
*Missing Teeth*
Having a loose or missing tooth will also interfere with your oral function. Obviously, the more teeth you lose, the less you’re going to be able to eat how and what you want.
If your problem tooth has been damaged so much that it needs to be removed, or if you come to us with missing teeth, we can help!
We can replace teeth in a variety of ways, using dental crowns, dental bridges, dentures, and even dental implants in conjunction with any of those options. After a thorough examination of your mouth, we can help you decide which method will give you the most successful outcome. Our goal is always to help you achieve your goals, from what you want your smile to look like, how you hope to live moving forward, and what your replacement teeth will mean for your long-term dental health.
You deserve to have a healthy mouth, a beautiful smile, and strong, secure replacement teeth that allow you to live the life you want, and we will do everything we can to help you get there!
Fix Your Teeth Now!
We all have those favorite holiday dishes we look forward to most this time of year.
Just thinking about them makes our mouths water!
Don’t you want to be able to enjoy it?
Then let us help relieve your dental pain and solve your chewing problems with restorative dentistry in Winnipeg, MB!
